2008 Vibes - Friday, 7:30 p.m.
The music has been terrific today and I have managed to catch chunks of spirited sets from The Ryan Montbleau Band, Porter-Batiste-Stolz and Assembly of Dust.
I had heard a lot about Montbleau from a few friends whose opinions I value, so it was nice to finally see him perform. He was as entertaining as advertised. How can you not like someone who mixes covers of Paul McCartney’s “Let ’Em In” and Eddie Grant’s “Electric Avenue” into his set?
His original songs were good, as well.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see too much of Porter-Batiste-Stolz – and, truth be told, I don’t know much about the trio – but I liked what I saw.
As for Assembly of Dust, the band is always a treat. Leader Reid Genauer is a real talent as a singer and a songwriter and has surrounded himself with solid musicians.
