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.

Stone Road gig last night

Things went off very well last night in the latest experiment at bringing live music to the humble 1739 St. Mary's Ave. Suite 3 coffee house setting. Stone Road band (great big thanks to Craig, Dave, Al and Norm for a great show, even if you didn't do "band introductions") put on a great show, 3 hours of music! They are a solid band on all instruments, drums and bass keep the rhythm section going with diverse styles - Dave and Al trading off on guitar leads and vocals.
They have a relaxed between songs banter, and a well thought-out set list, working their way through some different eras of musical diversity with skill and ease. They showed diversity with a little mini-set of Irish music, and Craig wanted to especially highlight the "Celtic Rock" number. They reprised the two Dylan songs off MOdern Times, and really do those songs great justice. They could bring it down slow and soft, and cut loose with some good ol' rock n roll.
You could get a chance to catch them outdoors, on Tuesday over at Civitan Park in Belpre, as part of one of those evening park concert series. 7:30 pm. They seemed pleased with the opportunity to perform and contribute to this benefit, while "playing out." We had a good audience turnout, and folks again, seemed to like the setting for music. Thanks to all who turned out.
