Splintered Sunlight August 24, 2012 The Queen

Guest Review for the Splintered Sunlight show by “AFAN”

Philadelphia-based Splintered Sunlight, arguably the Atlantic Coast’s best Grateful Dead tribute band, rocked Wilmington’s historic The Queen theatre on Friday with impeccable sonic grooves straight outta the Dead catalogue – just close your eyes and you are there, man.  Dan Leyden’s guitar is clean, signature Bob Weir, and his voice almost indistinguishable from Weir’s, while Butchy Sochorow’s Jerry is so spot on it brings chills even to Dead afficiandos – who come out in droves to see Sunlight and get taken back to the good old days.  I dare anyone to play Sunlight’s “Queen Jane” or “Feel Like a Stranger” to a real Dead fan and see what they think.  Stephen Spatz’s Phil Lesh is amazing, and Mike Borowski’s keyboards drone and drive just like Pigpen’s.  Jerry Horan and Tony Gioia rock TWO drum kits on stage.  These guys are awesome.

Conor Oberst Live in Bethlehem, PA 7-24-12

July 24, 2012– Conor Oberst traveled to “the land Jesus was born in” to play a lengthly solo set that eventually ended with him accompanied by the Band Dawes . Dawes opened the evening, drawing attention and pleasing many. Conor Oberst told the crowd that Dawes will be recording soon, so keep your eye out for something new from these friendly, talented guys (and also keep an eye out for the photographs of their set as well, those are coming soon).

I’ve never been to the Musikfest Cafe, what a neat venue. Facing old steel stacks, the Musikfest cafe provides a beautiful glass window view from floor to ceiling. Quite the ambiance, sun setting, as a band takes the stage. Perfect.

I didn’t write down the set list, I was busy taking photos for the first three songs- and then went to my seat to enjoy music. Happy crowd, smiling faces and several new songs filled the evening.

This is just the beginning of the week for Conor Oberst. He’s slowly making his way over to the Newport Folk Festival this weekend. Sisters Dissonance will also be there covering the fun. Check back this week for more and more and more… This is going to be a great week.
