Tonight’s show is with Joss Stone, the opening band is a bass player Named Nik West and her band.
Nik West turned out to be an unbelievable bass player and has a great band. Super funky with driving beats.
The rest of the band was also incredible. David Collum II, the drummer rocked hard! And adding to the excitement of this great band we’re screaming electronic sounds from Lorenzo Campese on the keys and fantastic guitar riffs and solos by Tomo Fujita.
Their sound is reminiscent of a funky Prince with a hard edge that just rocks. I guess they fall into the R&B/Soul, Dance and Electronic genres. I’m super impressed by this band and can honestly say I highly recommend them. I will definitely be listening to more of their music. They were also really friendly people. I’m waiting to hear Joss Stone play but I think that I’ve heard my favorite band of the evening.
I can’t say I know much about Joss Stone. She is a Soul and R&B and Reggae singer from England. Watching her show tonight I can say she is definitely talented. Her music is much softer and gentle than the opening band which is more my own speed but I sure couldn’t say anything bad about Joss.
I met her and her dog earlier in the day although we were not formally introduced, but she seemed to be a nice person. Her crew has been nothing but professional and friendly to our own and the day has gone rather smoothly. Both of these acts have been a pleasure to work with and if you see them playing in your area I can recommend buying a ticket to see them. Whether you like your music with a bit of a funky edge or you like it soft and sweet this pairing tonight was a winner.
