The Dove and The Wolf was a female- centric band from Philadelphia. Two women on guitar and vocals, female drummer, and male bass player comprised the quartet. Good original songwriting benefitted from harmony vocals and the dual vocal attack. It is hard to believe, but the two female voice delivery is somewhat rare in popular music. Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Abba seem like caricatures. I enjoyed the set but have to say the band name is cumbersome, The Dove and The Wolf sounds like an item on the sale shelf at Crabtree and Evelyn.
Michael Nau and his band The Mighty Thread consisted of Nau on vocals and hollow-body guitar, lead guitar, drums, bass, and organ. Nau's well worn vocals were enhanced by this tight backing band. I heard strains of The Band ( thanks to the organ), Van Morrison, and even Luna's Dean Wareham. Songs ranged from indie-folk to drawl-ey pop. Nau would be advised to do a little more inter-song banter to setup some songs, but overall an enjoyable listen.
