MARK THOMAS DEMING: LONELY H AT THE EASTSIDE >>>
Walk by any roofing crew today and you’ll probably hear some Lonely H. It might be a Doobie Brothers song. It might be Marshall Tucker. It might be The Band, Pure Prairie League or Skynyrd. But it’ll be Lonely H, because Lonely H is all of these bands.
Hailing from Port Angeles, these boys look like they were lifted from the cover of the Allman Brothers’ Live at the Fillmore East, circa 1971: long hair, staches, bellbottoms, boots. And they sound like it too.
Three quarters of the quartet can’t legally belly up to a bourbon, but they’ve got that whiskey-soaked Southern rock thing down pat.
Lonely H breaks no new ground with their new record, Concrete Class, but they take good care of the old. They’ll swing by Olympia’s Eastside tonight. Make that the Fillmore Eastside.
