So my lovely wife and I have an ongoing new year's resolution to see live music at least monthly. With January coming to a close and a birthday to celebrate we had to find just the right act and venue. We stumbled upon something in our own backyard at the Chester County Historical Society.
The Pennsylvania Buy Fresh Buy Local® program celebrates regional foods - heirloom tomatoes, farmstead cheeses, varietal wines, pasture-raised lamb, crisp apples - the abundance and diversity of foods available locally. They had an all day event that was capped with celebration at the CCHS with food from local farmers, beer from Victory and two bands, Missing Palmer and Hoots & Hellmouth. We checked out the musicians' MySpace sites for a taste and decided to give it a try.
We highly recommend doing this if you have not. MySpace is home to so many bands and they put their music for streaming right on the site.
Missing Palmer, eh, 'nuff said.
But Hoots - hoohaa! Just what the good doctor ordered (if the good doctor ordered a prescription of some roots music with blues, bluegrass, rock, gospel and a hootanany throw down). These guys blew us all away in a crowd of maybe 50. Part of Mad Dragon Records from my alma mater of Drexel University, these guys are sure to go far. PLaying heart felt music in various tempos with two guitars, mandolin and upright bass. And best of all, stomping on plywood with tamborines strapped on. See them soon. or right now......
