Similar to my serendipitously learning about the Van William show at the last minute, the same thing happened with Cautious Clay. I’d noticed his catchy name before, but it wasn’t until I saw him on the video with AlunaGeorge that he really registered with me. Then when looking at the Beachland website for a possible show I could try out the new iPhone camera, his name popped up! Perfect. Making it even a little more special was finding out he’s a Cleveland Heights native. His live show was a little more analog rock than his digital pop stuff online, but he was still great. His blend of R&B, rock, pop and jazz was really enjoyable.
Opening was 17 year old Victor! from Chicago. He was irreverent and playful. Very refreshing.
As for the phone camera - I think it did pretty well! It’ll probably take me a couple more concerts to really decide if I want to still carry my DSLR to shows!
