Hey - HOPE YOU DIDN'T MISS THIS ONE!!!
As an ordinary but calm Mischief Night began– the doors of a building in University City opened to hail the return of the ‘mad FIIDLA’. Thank you Rotunda! What a treat before Halloween!
He played a little something for everyone and got people moving and totally into his music. The effects on his electric violin were awesome—from distortion to wah-wah, chorus to flanged and some were just plain psychedelic. Then there were the clean classical/ jazz influences, his reggae roots and a fun surprise bluegrass/ Irish number! His backups included a fab percussionist, Mike Johnson, a cool bassist, Stacy McGee, a fast-fingers keyboard/flautist Damon Bennet and Marlon Lewis, an up ‘n comer on drums. A little comedy, a little crazy, a little dance – rounded out by great musicianship and singing to make a great energy filled evening out just to shake up the week a bit! Hey, if it was missed, there’s another date coming in February! And he’s about to release a CD! Check it out when it arrives! (“Renaissance”)
