Shivers Up Our Spines
by jeffthechef on 2011-08-07Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - WoodinvilleBruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers are consummate musicians, each of them virtuosos,, jamming, extending, and often reworking their diverse catalog of music on the fly and in response to the many requests they receive. Yes, they play requests. They are an absolute thrill to catch live and if you have the chance, seize the moment, you'll come away wondering why you hadn't searched them out before. As Bruce hasn't visited Winnipeg since his days with the Range, we've had to hit the road to catch him, in Minneapolis, Sioux City Iowa and this time round, in Woodinville Washington. Always well worth the trip as each show was magical, great memories for my wife and I, and especially our son Connor who plays piano and truly looks up to and aspires to be like Bruce. What a bonus having Bela Fleck and the Fabulous Flecktones on the bill as well. Again, brilliant playing and wondeful enjoyable listening..
