The Infamous Stringdusters

Nashville’s The Infamous Stringdusters thrilled the packed crowd at The Showbox with their very high energy Bluegrass and fast-paced guitars. The Stringdusters, supporting their new record Let It Go, are so entertaining that it would be impossible to be disappointed.

Keller Williams, on the other hand, is nowhere near as high energy but he is no less entertaining. He has a Caribbean vibe with a reggae protest message. I could see Williams fans listening to him at 4:20 sharp.

Jacksonville, Florida’s Black Kids headlined Barboza on the summer night of August 19th, 2014. Their debut, Partie Traumatic, turned out the awesome “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You,” which was a big hit in Britain. We’re waiting for more from them. Sundries a quartet from Seattle, opened the show. All photos by Alex Crick:

Former Gossip Girl actress-turned-songstress Leighton Meester, played at Showbox at the Market last week in support of her new debut album, Heartstrings, whose title track opened the show. Leighton was backed by the 5-member Check in the Dark that included Jeff Trott, who produced the album with her. “I love you Leighton” and “You’re beautiful” were the most common shout-outs between songs. Leighton’s strong finish in her encore song “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac, gave Christine McVie a run for the money. Local duo, Duke Evers – Josh Starkel (lead guitar/vocals) and Kyle Veazey (drums/vocals) – opened.
