...(Friday) in NYC at City Winery. Excellent show (a tad short at an hour and a half, but no complaints) from an excellent band. Kim Wilson is a fine singer and plays harmonica in the true, gritty style of the Chicago greats. And he knows how to put together a band - the line-up features guitarists Johnny Moeller and Mike Keller, who complemented each other well. Moeller is now right up there in my list of favorites - raw, passionate, and in the moment - while Keller's playing was smooth and stinging. And they made a great team; at no time were they playing the same thing. One would play single notes, the other chords, or one high up on the neck and the other low. Nice. The set was mostly original stuff, in the blues/rock/soul/R&B tradition, and all the guys got ample opportunity to shine. It was, unfortunately, quite empty in there; I was fortunate to have found out the band was playing just by chance.
Definitely worth checking out, IMHO. Oh, and Keller was playing a blonde tele all night; Moeller had a hollowbody for most of the night and a tele for the encore. I could swear I saw a strat while the equipment was being set up, but it didn't make an appearance.

Cool. If they swing by Houston in the future I'll have to go check it out.
