As the crow flies

Back to the folk punks at The Rainbow. Jef Andrew has been criss-crossing the country of late, touring for his latest album Hobo Postcards, starting in Montreal and making his was back to his East Vancouver home. Maybe it was just the hollowbody, but I thought he sounded a bit like Mike Ness of Social Distortion doing his solo thing (albeit with a slightly reduced Johnny Cash fixation).

Soundchecking action!



He was accompanied by his band Crows at Midnight, which on this occasion consisted of drummer Kenan Sungur ...



And mandolinist Radar.



Jeff sings!



The whole crew.



Kenan sings!



Singalong action!



Kazoo action!



More Jeff!



Kenan takes a spin on the double bass.



The whole lot again!



Singing along on the right ...



... and the left.



More Radar!



Co-tourer Jess Hill joined them on stage for a song or two.



And now for some violin!



And so on!



And let's not forget the interpretative dance.



He's now back in B.C.
