The Third Mind

Great show but that goes for almost every show I’ve been to at Kessler. When you are seated 10 feet from the stage with an adult beverage it’s hard to miss. Jesse Sykes is a huge voice contrast to Dave Alvin but it works for what the band is doing. She does all the singing except for Dave’s story telling and the encore of highway 61. So, if you’re counting on Dave’s big bass voice this ain’t it. Basically, a very different set than anything typical with Alvin but it’s a cool concept and a good show. Michael Jerome is incredible on percussion and David Immergluck do some serious guitar riffs.

The energy and talent was amazing, the transition from dark and moody to psychedelic soulful guitar jammin’ moved the audience to another era. Michael Jerome’s creative and genius physical ability to create sounds on the drums was right on. Jesse Sykes heart and soulful vocals a sound of Joni Mitchell back in the day. There is no other like Dave Alvin however, adding David Immergluck, and Victor Krummenacher completes the sound that creates The Third Mind… a sound beyond your imagination…… R. Estep

A psychedelic folk rock symphony that elevated my soul!
