Bombadil 6/24/19 Cafe 9

Bombadil is a trio of young men from Durham ( one syllable, like Derm). Drums, bass/keys, and guitar was their configuration. The interesting component was that they all sang, all the time, on all songs. While the bass player seemed to sing lead on most tunes, the other guys were capable of taking the helm, contributing to harmonies, and adding nice vocal effects. The sound reminded me of the 70s, not quite the Beach Boys or America, but an old familiar jean jacket of a sound. A perfect cover came in the form of The Left Banke's 70s hit Walk Away Renee. A woman in front of me turned and said " they were adorable". While that wasn't the praise line these three were hoping for, they did have an easy going style that put them in a recent Relix " bands to watch" article.
