Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express w/ Amy Rigby 10/10/18 Cafe 9

Singer songwriter Rigby has played C-9 several times. A veteran of the Nashville scene, she doesn't seem twangy enough for that town. Caught a few originals to warm up the near capacity crowd. Rigby has three brothers, and had a good tune about "trying to hang with the guys".
I saw Chuck perform twice at this summer's Green River Festival. His set morphed into more of a club-oriented affair on this evening. Many smartass "you know ladies and gentlemen" comments and audience participation parts had the multi-generational crowd grooving. His remix version of Storm Across the Sea was great. Setlist included: Bobby Fuller Died for Your Sins, Who Put the Bomp, The Left Hand and The Right Hand, Run Primo Run, the Wille Mays tune, Wasn't I Always a friend to You ( co-written with Alejandro Escovedo) were all great. Closed with an obscure cover of Bangkok and a syrupy instrumental (Sleepwalk maybe?). Glad to have seen this veteran rocker for the third time in 2018.
