A very entertaining acoustic show last night at The Corner Cafe! There was fantastic attendance, and two acts that certainly filled the bill for quality live music entertainment, the likes of which...we have come to expect from this particular venue.
Starting off the night was the ever popular, and always satisfying, acoustic duo of Josh Wheeler, and Jason Ellis. Whether performing covers, or originals...these guys give it their all! Musicianship, powerful vocals, and a presentation full of emotive content and energy... are the three salient features that mark this duo's ability to pleae an audience. These elements were all evident last night, and certainly set the stage for what was to follow. Fantastic job guys!
Finishing off the night, was Adam Dale, currently of Baton Rouge, LA. This outstanding lyricist/vocalist, is most notably known in this region for his tenure as the frontman, and a substantial part of the creative genius behind the highly poular alternative rock band, The American Tragedy. Certainly no stranger to the music fans here in El Dorado, nonetheless... they were treated to a more intimate perspective of this talented individual as he performed solo-acoustic.
It's difficult to describe what this artist has that captivates an audience so...there are just too many variables. Radiating vocals, intriguing lyrics, frenetic fretwork on the guitar, and an odd sense of timing & delivery that goes beyond the normal pale...these all combine to provide the hearer an insight into the inner workings of this performer's psyche. Maybe that, in iself, is the answer...Adam Dale's music display's Adam Dale in such a powerful manner that one cannot help but be drawn into the total experience. Whatever it is...it certainly is effective, and pleasurable as well.
I look forward to seeing this unique, and personable artist again, and eagerly await his soon coming solo effort on CD. Fantastic job, Mr. Adam Dale... and we look forward to seeing more of you in the future!
