IV and the Strange Band

Incredible show. The opening act of Mike & The Molotovs warmed up the crowd very well. Then came Possessed By Paul James, an amazing duo with unmatched energy for two people sitting in chairs and playing. Then came IV & The Strange Band. They certainly didn’t disappoint. The pedal steel, the guitar, bass and drums were all on point. And Coleman just had that sort of presence to indicate that he’s someone making music you need to listen to…even if you don’t know why. After watching them last night, I was trying to decide if I should drive to Bisbee to see them again tonight. But I’m too exhausted. Rest assured, I’m gonna be watching for them to come back through again, and next time I’m bringing as many people as I can.
