BScene by Dean: Roots Revival at The Station

The Roots Revival at The Station Coffee House And Gallerytoday was one of the most entertaining to date, not only was the music that was coming from Cory Mercer, Joseph O’Connor and Matt Welbanks so good, it was actually getting people up and dancing. These guitarists are really something to listen to and watch. The expertise was something that most guitarists would dream about and when the fiddle is put into the mix it just fills out beautifully.

Before the show I was talking to Cory and Joseph and was surprised to hear that Joseph doesn’t even have an acoustic guitar of his own. I think that he definitely needs to get one if he keeps playing in venues such as this. I found it interesting that Matt on the fiddle didn’t seem to require any music to follow, if he didn’t know it he just listened for a bit and then started playing as if he knew it all along.

Although all three of the musicians do play together occasionally they really aren’t a group as such, but they sure sounded like they had been playing together for years and years. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and you would have too if you had been here. I am going to keep my eyes and ears open and watch for these player to pop up again because I want to see this ‘act’ again.

Thanks for the music guys and it was definitely a job very well done.

BScene by Dean: Hump Day Interactive Comedy Show at the Starving Artist Gallery Cafe.

This was the first show of the new season and Melanie brought comedian Mickie Krish on stage to regale us with what he wouldn’t say. Even Melanie was in stitches with the rest of us for this show. These two comedians were perfect foils for each other and they both had some difficulties keeping it together for the whole show.

BScene by Dean: LACEY HILL – ROOTS REVIVAL CONCERT SERIES – January 3, 2016

Lacey Hill, singer/songwriter, of the Oneida Wolf Clan from the Six Nations was the first entertainer of the year and she really showed her passion for music and song to the intimate gathering at the The Station Coffee House And Gallery for this first edition of the Sunday Roots Revival at The Station Art Gallery. The richness of her singing voice was well matched to/by the talent that she showed on guitar and ukulele, giving us an entertaining afternoon of music, song, and stories. Watch out for this musician and if you can, see her in action.

I think she’s going to be going places in the near future with this kind of talent. Remember, The Roots Revival Concert Series is an ongoing musical event that takes place at the Station Gallery Café every Sunday afternoon showcasing some of the area’s finest acoustic musicians as well as talent from across the country.
