Roll on

Diunna Greenleaf is a big gal with a big sound, and a very amusing between-songs spiel - she could probably give most stand-up comedians a run for their money. I only caught the last few songs of her set - backed by guitar whiz "Steady Rollin'" Bob Margolin, but it was very entertaining.

She's a very outgoing performer. "Ladies, send me your man. I will fix him."

Diunna is worried you might be a little bit crazy.

Shaking action!

I didn't catch the drummer's name.

I can't exactly recall why John and Bob played guitar with high heels.

A powerful set.
  • Show reminder: Good2Go and Ladymilk rock Zaphod Beeblebrox. The JW Jones Blues Band plays the Rainbow. Chasing Curiosity, Doll House Accessories, Vista Cruiser, Aimless Endeavor and Rising City States do it for the kids at Mavericks. Owl Farm, the band whose name is a symbol and Cold Coffee & Salty Boots make some noise at Irene's; it's ska time at the Elmdale House with Rudeboy. Last but certainly not least, Le Nombre return to the Dominion Tavern with Boom Creek for some extra rockin'.
