Vetiver w/ Sara Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion 3/26/11 The Space

Made the last few tunes of Sara and Johnny. Daughter of Arlo, this pair had good stage chemistry. Able to rock the folk tunes with the help of some Vetiver musicians. Andy Cabic and Vetiver have been to the area several times in recent years and I was glad to have caught them at the low-jey Space. Have been listening to their 2008 release Tight Knit from which some tunes came. Things of the Past album was an exercise in covering little known tunes from the 70s and 80s. Cabic says new record to come out in June.

Keller Williams 3/24/11 Toad's Place

Standard Keller show: Shakedown Street, Runnin on Fumes, Blazeabago> Dear John> Blazeabago, Tell Me Somethin' Good (by Rufus W/ Chaka Khan), Glory and Consequence (by Ben Harper. Good crowd for a Thursday. While groovin to a Keller concert staple, David Bowie's Golden Years, I mentioned to a nearby Freeker that I had seen Bowie and Tin Machine on that very stage. " You saw Keller with Tin Machine?" No dude, just another fragmented pass-it-down in Keller-land
