What a splendid Sunday afternoon listening to the awesome sounds of a banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass, and the voices of The Brothers Blue! For two awesome sets, Benny, Matt, and Charlie dazzled the crowd with their excellent singing, playing, lyrics, and stories. Whether addressing serious issues with their songs or just playing good-time songs to have fun with the audience, their genuine, sincere nature easily won over the crowd, who throughout the afternoon responded with enthusiastic applause, hoots, and even a standing ovation from one audience member for “I Am a Soldier.” Joe Dady was so right when he said to me, “These guys are the real deal!”
Big thanks to Benny, Matt, and Charlie for a terrific show! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Brittany, Shelby, Trevor, Julie, Chris, Sadie, Amy, Jasmine, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help you give us to make this event work! Big thanks to Scott Regan for promoting these shows on WRUR’s “Open Tunings!” Big thanks to you, the audience, for your continuous support of this venue! Without you, it would not be possible! Our next show will be on Sunday, May 19. Jeff Riales, one of the area’s finest country songwriters, will be our guest in Quiote. Jeff will be joined by Mike Wittek (guitar and mandolin) and Dana Fine (bass), two members from Jeff’s band, The Silver Tone Express. Stay tuned for more details about this show!
