An excellent show at the Tin Angel this past Thursday night.
The show opened with a lovely solo set by Anna K Jarosz, a Brooklyn singer-songwriter by way of Scotland. Jarosz played the keyboard and sang on all the songs with a subtle sincerity that made her music so enjoyable. Wow, just an all around great set of music and a wonderful way to start the night.
Aah, then it was time for Hezekiah Jones who played as a trio for most of the set. Hezekiah Jones (Raphael Cutrufello) creates some truly amazing music that is very moving. Hearing “Traffic To The Sea” almost brought me to tears because of its flawless performance and sheer musical beauty. The award for Best Use of an iPhone during a set goes to Ross Bellenoit on “I’ve Got A Little Room” for adding the meow track. So, it still stands that Hezekiah Jones’ musical greatness is a given.
The final set belonged to Up The Chain, a Philly band with a rather diverse style of music which is a great thing.
