Right On John + The Dry County Cooks
Well another gig at John Henry's is in the bag and we had a friggin blast.
We closed the night after two great performances by Portland soloist/journeyman Right On John and, one of our personal favorites The Dry County Crooks.
Right On John is a one man band to beat the band... can we say that? The self proclaimed 'electric vaudeville songwriter' mixes slick, thick riffs with some thumping beats provided by a brilliantlly jerryrigged drum kit that adds a great dimension to his solo show. He alternates between slide, rock, country, and blues styles with deft abandon and he's got a vocal tone that hints at Plant, but maintains an honest quality that many who shoot at the Zep frontman miss. A great, chill performer who is as much fun after the gig as he is during. If you get a chance, pick his brain about one-man-bands as he's got some great names. Check his shit out.
The Dry County Crooks are perhaps a bookmark in the gradually filling volume of alt/rock/country. These fellahs really set the bar for how to blend punk rock/traditional country (not that Toby Keith shit) and lyrics that speak to the folks with callused hands, broken hearts, and a forrest of empty beer bottles sitting before them on the bar. If you havn't checked out their site or tunes, you need to because they are great live, fantastic on the road, and kick ass fellas to boot.
We'd like to send a huge shout out to all the folks who came to see us and spend their early morning hours stomping it up in downtown Eugene. We love a good crowd and we can honestly say that this was one of the better groups we've gotten to hang out with. Keep your eyes peeled as we'd love to see ya'll again soon.
More news and reviews coming your way from Sid and Fancy land...stay tuned.
