The Burlap and Bean is always a great place to go if you want to hear some good live music. So, with Matt Helm Scream, Dawn Iulg, and Joshua Park all on the same bill – I had to go! Joshua Park had the opening set which he played solo. Park delivered an excellent solo acoustic set making it quite apparent that sometimes less is more. I don’t think I’ve seen Dawn Iulg before but I will say that she had a very nice set filled with some moving folk tunes. It sounded great to have Jeff Hiatt accompany Iulg on upright bass. Matt Helm Scream had the honor of ending the night. I’ve seen Matt Helm Scream several times in the past but I truly believe that this was the best performance to date. For this show it was a full-band with: Matt Helm (vocals, guitars), Raphael Cutrufello (vocals, piano), Dean Gorfti (drums), Philip D’Agostino (bass), Brad Hinton (guitar, banjo). I’m not sure if most of the banter between band mates was a result of nervousness or just something to pass the time while tuning but it was funny. It’s always nice to hear Helm dish out those indie, folk, rock songs. I only hope that this was not the last Matt Helm Scream show because great music and good times should never come to an end.
