Uptown Rhythm n Brass
We went to see Uptown Rhythm n Brass with several friends friday night. They were playing at the Brick House in Butler, and while I'm not particularly fond of the food, it's comforting to the extent that you don't feel like you're in Butler anymore after you're in there, save for the strange people on the dance floor.
Anyhow, Eric was singing and playing harmonica. I say that sorta nonchalantly, but my reaction on Friday was more like, "Holy Shit! I didn't think anybody could cover David Clayton Thomas like that!" It stands as a testament to the talent in this band that Eric and several others in the band are barely out of their mid 20's.
Eric's harmonica work was only icing on the cake after he killed Lucretia Mac Evil. Eric and the band definitely have "the sound" down. If you're into 70's horn music, you've got to see this band, and oh yeah, I really appreciated that they covered stuff like Peter Gabriel and Santana in addition to the usual BS&T and Chicago standards.
