I arrived at the Beachland early to grab some seats and the bar and grab a bite to eat, but realized they messed up the door time on the website. I was left hanging outside waiting for the soundcheck to finish as a group of spirited young folk started to gather around and line up. I could tell they were thrilled to be there, some having seen Yoke Lore multiple times, and I can see why. He was so warm and personable in person, and on stage he was reflective, poignant and can throw down the 80’s dance moves like no one’s business. He might have been a little long on the banter, but his songs really start to stick with you. After the show, he hung out in the house and talked with just about every person who was willing. Such a great guy, and what a great performer!
(also be sure to check out his cover of Savage Garden’s Truly, Madly, Deeply on my YouTube Channel!)
Vita and the Woolf returned to the Beachland for the opening slot. Her sound was as powerful, dense, and yet sometimes soft, as like her her songwriting and general presence. I was able to have a nice little interaction with her after the show and she was quite lovely. Go Vita!
