The L2 Arts and Cultural Center on Colfax is not the type of place you would expect to see Hayes Carll play, and that’s why Saturday night’s show was so great! He usually is backed by a full country band, but on Saturday he was all acoustic and almost on his own. His songs about late night mistakes, broken bottles, and the road kept us going for two full sets as a heated battle between the “shushers” and the “shouters” raged in the predictably diverse crowd.

Seeing The Wood Brothers at L2 was a memorable experience for all those present, including the musicians. Oliver had a constant monk-like look of contentment and both brothers shot glances of encouragement and respect all night while newcomer Jano Rix on Drums looked like he has been fully accepted into this family, and rightfully so.

Crooked Still took concert goers on a musical journey through time on Thursday night as they masterfully reinterpreted material ranging from Claude Ely’s 1934 “Ain’t No Grave” to Paul Simon’s 1973 classic “American Tune.” Each and every song was sung and played with understanding, as if the members of Crooked Still had contributed to the material when it was originally written.
