Out of the woods

I made my second trip to Bar Robo on Wednesday to catch some folky  andd roots-rocking action courtesy of Old Cabin, Clara Engel and Quin Gibson. The night started with a solo turn from Gibson, who's also a member of local combo The Steamers.

Acoustic action!

Next up, Clara Engel, who has a fantastic voice that's ideal for her eerie tunes.

Things got a bit louder with Old Cabin. Last time Jon Barr came through (when Raw Sugar occupied the space), he had some local horn accompaniment and Laura Beach on violin, this time around he had a more conventional lineup with a keyboardist, drummer and bassist. Here's Jon!

A very pleasant evening. I also heartily recommend Bar Robo's hibiscus soda.
