CLEVECO AT DRAGONFLY
Mon. Feb. 1st, 2016
Cleveco
fronted by Kevin Bridges on guitar turned in a raucous-joyous and
toe-tapping performance at Dragonfly Wine Market on West Warren Street
near the Earl Scruggs
Center in uptown Shelby on Saturday. They played an original by Kevin (Fell from Airplane) about a man who fell to his death out of an airplane into a graveyard near Kevin's house. They covered Luckiest Man, and John Prine's "Paradise," and at drummer Chris's suggestion, they turned in
a rousing rendition of "Dead Flowers" by the Rolling Stones. I asked
Kevin how long it took them to set up, and he said ten minutes -- I said
wow -- he said they have a speaker
that pumps up the music for both the band and the audience, so they can
dispense with a separate monitor. Bassman Sandy was on hand, maybe a
little more talkative than usual. It was a three-man band on this
occasion, because Danny Parker was off playing
another gig, but Kevin said he should be back with the band which is
good news of course!
