Sorry for the hiatus. Got a cool new gig that’s got me on brain overload just soaking up tons of info. That, and a bit writers block combined with a healthy dose of reinvention vapor lock has thrown a wrench into the works.

So, back to blogging with a short post. Gotta give big kudos to the hardest working man in blog-biz. Ryan at Ryan’s Smashing Life put on another (his third) great showcase Tuesday night at the lillypad.

It opened up with the stellar vocals and finger picking of Tom Thumb. He was followed by a rare acoustic gig from Eldridge Rodriguez, who braved the wrath of his bride-to-be to play the show just a few days before his wedding.

The final performance of the night was my personal favorite, Annie Lynch & the Beekeepers. They have a style that you could describe as alt-country or alt-folk. They’re a wonderful combination of acoustic guitar, stand-up bass, cello and a rotation of mandolin, accordion, banjo and saw….yes the saw. Annie’s vocals are gorgeous and they have great harmonies.
