Mike Farris and the Roseland Rhythm Revue, who opened the show, were incredible.
Soulful, southern gospel, rock and roll-really great.
I had seen the Screamin Cheetah Willies years ago but was unprepared for the incendiary soulful set from Mike Farris.
Amy Laverre was quirky and good-even though you could barely call the music blues.
Taj was great, as usual
