(( June 26 Mix & Match / Part 2 ))
The past few weeks I got sucked up into a busy work schedule and have fallen behind in my comments on this page. Still writing chronologically about bands I saw on June 26 (Yikes!)
The second artist up at Spike Hill on June 26 (playing after Alexander Bishop, mentioned in the previous blog) was Tom Shaner, who also came with a band. If there was any common theme about these two bands, I would say that it would be their eclectic repertoires. Tom Shaner played rock, folk, ballads, a wide range. However, the styles of presentation between the two bands were quite different. Alexander Bishop's Band's style was extremely freeflowing, while Tom Shaner's Band's style was tight and precise..
The band is a five-piece, with the keys player switching off to accordion keys for a few songs. Some very interesting lyrics, which are sung by Tom Shaner himself.
As with some other bands I've written about recently, the web music doesn't do justice to what you can see live, but here's an example of some of his work. The song is "Forever Drug" :::
If you would like to hear the Tom Shaner band live, you're in luck; they have another show coming up TONIGHT! This is an early show at the LIC Bar. Here is the click to Tom Shaner's Facebook page for more information ::: Tom Shaner Band on Facebook (CLICK HERE)
