Roots music

The only other time I've seen Plants & Animals was also at Bluesfest, in 2008. I thought they played a pretty good set. They've come to town at least once since then, to middling reviews from people I know. No such complaints for their latest Bluesfest show; they really blew the roof off.

Nic and Warren have ditched the urban hipster look I razzed them for last time. It's strictly utilitarian now, people.

The whole, singing-along lot!

I do like the Fujifilm's quick frame-change.

They're out in California right now, as part of a tour that will take them across the southwest and up the east coast. Their next date in the vicinity is at the Blacksheep Inn November 26.
