The jam lingers on at the HL series. Eggy carries the jam torch lit by guitarist’s Jake Brownsteins father Mark in his seminal jamtronica outfit The Disco Biscuits. The Biscuits were a tri-state area force that fused the extended freak outs of jam with the electronic wizardry of house. It allowed the tie-dye and corduroy crowd a chance to get down without getting laughed out of da clerb. They held these upstate NY forest ragers called Camp Bisco. Imagine, then, being a 6-12 year old Jake backstage at one of these things, god knows what he heard and witnessed. Seems natural to find a crew, hone your chops, and follow the path. Fast forward to 2024 where Eggy plays two solid sets behind the Old Statehouse. First set was tame and ballady but got some heads bobbing. The flow of these shows is critical to the concert experience. You can’t start with a face-melter and then sing Color My World (they did not do this). Fact is, Eggy could have. Talented quartet has Brownstein joined by bass, drums, and keys. They all sang, but drummer did the majority. Set two was where Eggy cooked: Smile , Remind Me, A Moments Notice, Shallow Rivers, Southern Cross (CSN), Wayless One, One Stop Shop, Atomic Age, Must Come Down, encored with an extended Tom Corn Walker. Good crowd and perfect weather.
