Caught Yola at Hoyt Sherman. She was phenomenal, however the opener was supposed to be a guy named Jac Ross, a younger fella from across the pond. We walked in at the tail of the opener and it was an old guy with a guitar and a young guy on bass/keys. The old fella started a song, stopped, took at minimum 5 minutes to retune his guitar, then jumped into the song. By this time, it was well past time Yola should have come on, old guy tries to go into another song, the younger guy on stage mouths "We're outta time, we gotta get off the stage!" Old guy gets up, unplugs the guitar, stands up with the guitar and starts to talk off stage...well no one has really applauded yet because they assumed another song was coming. He looks out to the audience, half waves, sets the guitar back down and plugs it back in then just kinda wanders off stage leaving the young guy sitting by himself.

It was the most awkward, strange, hilarious, uncomfortable thing I've ever experienced at a concert.

The Marcus King Band.



Amazing live performer. I go every time he comes to Kansas City, save for the one time I was out of town.

Only complaint is he sometimes "jams" too much. He's a great guitar player but there are a lot of those. It's his voice that separates him from the pack. Such a powerful, natural blues voice. He needs to weaponize it a little more in his live shows.

Not even sure how I found these guys, but I've been listening to a Dutch group called De Staat. They do a lot of unique instrumentation and vocals, utilizing elements of rock, hip hop, electronica, etc. The lyrics are often tongue and cheek and they seem to have a really good sense of humor.
