Wheel HOuse Saturday night

The power duo of Andy and Nathan laid it all out for the crowd at the Wheel House last night. There is developing an intense following of enthusiasm for the sound they create; folks have said the Bogie's show March 10; the 6 Pence Pub show friday night, and the show last night, create a streak of inspired music and connection with the audience. You could definitely acknowledge the diehards who were at back to back shows as being caught up in the momentum. A different enough set list, and with the inclusion of the drums, it was a entrancing night. Mike Chenowith worked hard to keep several guitars tuned in cycles, and especially the second and third sets were some very impressive guitar work. Andy and Nathan have the great togetherness of shifting tempos, segue-ing into other songs, etc. from years of playing together. The dancing has gotten so lively/ exuberant that its almost creating its own phenomenon- I hope it keeps building; and not even every block of Greens fans were there; noticeably absent were some of the recent clusters of fans. (Some were probably just not quite able to make 2 nights in a row)
Big ol bessie was done at a completely different way; Beekeeper hadn't been part of recent shows; apocalypso was back to being a closer (though the encores went on for quite a while after that......) Truck stop religion started a little unrecognized until the slide guitar kicked in. Lots of Hendrix on this particular night.
Steve McGinnis had a big crew there; good to see him in town from Columbus. I don't know all the background story on Ian Williams "police look."
Adrian was still sporting the St. Patrick's day "green." (fishing hat) Dave McIntyre came in after a late shift at work. Cory Shields seemed enthralled with Andy's guitar work.
Stay tuned for an updated schedule; I don't really have much knowledge at this point; I'll catch andy before he heads back to Morgantown if I can.
