[Seattle,
WA] Concert in a park in West Seattle – kids playing, adults picnic-ing. Nice.
The best thing about the show was the complete disjunction between the paper’s
description of the band and the reality. They were described, see below, as
some cross between hip-hop (because they’re black???) and punk (because they
are black yet use guitars???). They were Ben Harper, blues rock – did a ton of Jimi
covers. It’s possible they were toning things down for the setting. ….. “Seattle
guitarist and frontman Ayron Jones (Eh-Rahn), has become one of Seattle’s
hottest up-and-comers with his brand of Seattle Rock. Jones has taken a hybrid
style of guitar playing, in which the chord and solo are played at the same
time, and infused the raw energy of punk with the inner-city attitude of
Hip-Hop. The result is a soulful reincarnation of that iconic Seattle sound.
Think, Stevie Ray Vaughan meets Nirvana.”
