As promised, I attended the Kelly Flint Trio concert in Lowville, NY this Saturday, 1/23/10. The music was quite good and the songs went from deeply personal to openly nostalgic. It was a good mix of musician's too. The guitar player used a 1950's Silvertone Tube Amplifier and a Silvertone guitar of similar vintage. His playing styel was reminiscent of the Ventures and other surf rockers. When you tie that into the upright bass players Vince Guaraldi-like jazz style, you get a whole new and interesting take on old songs. They performed a few Patsy Cline songs and many of their own compositions. It was definitely worth attending.
The next group to make an appearance at the Lewis County Historical Society will be the Lipbone Redding Orchestra. If you haven't heard this guy, you've got to hear it. Listening to the recording I've found online, I'd place him between Cab Calloway and Jack Johnson. It is a really interesting mix of music and very good songwriting.
