Abbie Barrett and her band are magic. They did their magic thing all over Warehouse XI for Bob Voges’ birthday celebration. #BV70
There’s nothing I dislike about Abbie Barrett and her band. One might say I actually kind of enjoy their musical adventures. I mean, they’re better than alright. One might even say that Abbie’s songs are little musical treasures and that you can feel her voice in your bones and that Mike Oram perfectly layers in his guitar textures and that Ed V is probably my favorite person to watch play the 4 string Fender bass (ever) and that Rice pretty much rules no matter what he’s doing (in this case, drumming just the right amount of drums) and that “Better Machine” might have been the best song released in 2018.
One might say those things.
Here’s my last set of photos from the Q Division Holiday Party. It includes my favorite Mike Oram photo of the night, who sat in for a wonderful Superchunk cover. Behold the dynamos of Stars Like Ours.
Eric Salt & The Electric City lit up the Q Division Holiday Party. See what I did there? Oh, and another photo of Dan Nicklin in a Santa hat.
Another year. Another Q Division Holiday Party. Another wonderful set from Abbie Barrett. Another heartwarming rendition of “Abbie Barrett Makes Christmastime And Every Time A Better Time” by Brendan Boogie.
A magical band in a magical time and place. Airport at the Q Division Holiday Party.
This is Airport. Bands don’t come much better. One day I hope more people realize this. Until then, I’m content to watch these guys fill The Lizard Lounge with their sweet, sweet, ’70s-radio-inspired sounds.
Here are Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents rippin’ up the rug at The Lizard. They make it look easy.
Eric Salt and Mike Oram were on the rug as I settled in for another night of wonderful music at The Lizard. Their set of ’80s tunes included the best cover of The Cars’ “Let’s Go” I’ve ever heard. Well done.
Eric Salt & The Electric City closed out a night of great songs performed by fantastic musicians at a wonderful club. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We’re lucky to have people like this in our town.
