The opener was Skye Wallace and she was really worth seeing for a full set which we hope to catch one day. Crown Lands were awesome, a two piece band that somehow works. The venue was clean, neat but 13.50 for a tall can?
The cover band was really good for matching the energy of Crown lands. The sound equipment brought all the glory to the energy that Crown lands is capable to generate. The stage was practically jumping to the sound of the base. The laser effect was a nice compliment. It was also nice to gather alone other people to partake the come back.
Live music is the best except when it's distorted. Moved around to find a sweet spot. None to be found. Disappointed in the sound. Loved both bands.
Outstanding music and showmanship. The venue is very intimate
Could not understand the any of the lyrics, voice was too reverberated. Left early because I had to plug my ears to avoid going deaf.
Saw Crown Lands for the 1st time and it wont be my last. This band rocked Rum Runners, these guys are tight and the future of Rock N Roll
I’ve been to countless concerts. I like Rock N Roll. These guys were tremendous. From start to finish a solid 10/10.
The guitarist/bassist/keyboard player etc. sometimes plays two or three instruments at once - sometimes with pedals; sometimes with pure moxie. The drummer/mandolinist/ vocalist has a 3 octave vocal range and certainly spent some time listening to Neil Peart. The band was playing to a mostly hometown audience and the mutual love showed. My only wish for the next concert is for more volume and clarity on the vocals. Crown Lands has great lyrics that deserve to be fully heard.
These guys are incredibly talented. If you love classic rock, rock, and or blues, and you have the chance to see them, do it! I would give them 6 stars if I could.
