I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.

Greens/ Coal Canary at the Marietta Brewing Co.

Nate has been in Florida, he is on the way back. Filling in on drums for the Marietta Brewing Co. show (filling in nicely!) was Jeff from Coal Canary. You can visit their website linked off the Greens. They played once before in Parkersburg, I think last summer, as I recall it being hot at the Front Row!!!
Coal Canary opened, with Andy standing in on Bass. They are a good band, Jen is the vocalist, and belts 'em out strong and impressive. The guitar work is solid and driving- so all in all an enjoyable band- seems to be most if not all originals (except a second version of Angel from Montgomery for the evening!) Its fun to watch Andy on bass; he is his usual enthusiastic energetic self, and puts his all into it. I figure most in the audience were just expecting the Greens, so hopefully they were okay with the addition- its good to be exposed to some other good stuff some times!!! So then the Greens quickly switched around things- Jeff staying in on the drums, and Ben taking over the bass, and Andy moving back to the guitar and vocals.
the set list for the Greens portion of the show:
tide turn again
big ol' betsy
tunesmith jones
10-4 good buddy
flyin' solo
heavy mentals

conversation with the lunatic in the mirror

apocalypso
(back to) what a ride

And remember, this was after a solid, decent fast paced set by Coal Canary. So folks got a great night of music.
It seemed a little smaller crowd than usual up at the Brewing Co., but a celebrating, good time crowd as always for the Greens.
