Wonderful performances by Lisa, Carly, Debbie McClatchy and Big Medicine! Intimate setting, lots of singing along and a small but wonderfully appreciative audience. I'll have snatches of song running through my head from this one for weeks!
Lisa, I've always loved your singing at the Getaway, but to watch you perform a full set, and really get to see how you engage the audience was an absolute delight.
I had never seen Debbie McClatchy, and mostly know of her work through post to Mudcat. I expected to enjoy her set, and was not disappointed. Wonderfully energetic. (And I luvs the banjo!) Joe Newbury and Big Medicine are always a treat. One song they did I have never heard, and now I can't get it out of my head. "Sit Down. I Can't Sit Down. I Just Got to Heaven and I want to (Have to?) Walk Around."
