If you thought last week’s musician Myles Kennedy was a busy man, then you haven’t heard everything guitar player Joel Hoekstra has on his plate. Not only has he been touring with Night Ranger on a major outing with Journey and Foreigner, but in between those dates he performs in Rock Of Ages and travels with the Trans Siberian Orchestra in the fall and winter.
The spirit of this dazzling performance lingered in the air long after Brownstein, Timony, Cole and Weiss exited the stage, leaving a sold-out crowd buzzing with an adrenaline rush that would continue long after they wandered out into the brisk Washington, D.C. evening.
One of the most notable artists to come out of the 2010 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest was Minneapolis-based soul roots rocker Heatherlyn. Although she didn’t win the contest, she was voted into the Midwest Regional finals by popular vote so that has to count for something. And after taking a listen to her debut full-length release, Storydwelling, it is easy to understand why people like her so much.
However, even with the signs of wear, the spirited band and their energetic longtime local fans carried the day. The crowd remained enthusiastic and worked with the band to make the evening worthwhile.
