Last night's Kings County Opry was a good one, and thanks to Jamie Lyn's hard work with popsicle sticks, paper and rubber cement, everyone had a fan -- which were quite a blessing on a June night in Freddy's.
The song circle featured AJ Bender's tales of love, loss and marijuana, Joshua Sanders's high-energy originals and covers, and Ebie Carter and Dock Oscar with some great harmonies.
Sufferin' Succotash, a late addition to the schedule, was next with a typically raucous set on as many instruments as Shlomo can carry, with the addition of Emily Eagen on uke, whistling and vocals, and new memeber Spiff Weigand on bass, watching Dr. Frets for the chords and playing fantastically.
Good Greasy and Baked closed out the night -- a project of Cardigan Dan the Singing Psychologist and Banjo-Man, along with Jen Sirey and Gina Samardge, a multiinstrumentalist who's probably the first human theremin to play Freddy's. Joined by Hannah Baker on fiddle and "the ubiquitous" Charlie Shaw on bass and guitar, plus guest appearances by Trip and Emily, they did a great set of old-time tunes and the odd cover or two. (Very odd.)
