A Leaf played the Peabody Waldorf last night.
PICKED THE PERFECT TIME >>>
Enough has been said about this packed weekend of events in the South Sound. I'm fortunate to have an immediate family who loves the same things I do. The three of us squeezed-in three talented acts last night at the Peabody Waldorf, as part of the 253Heart Music and Arts Festival in Tacoma.
Matt Eklund led off the night with an electric, surreal guitar jam that fit the venue perfectly. Low lighting, amazing art and an eclectic film screening off to the side, his skillfully played, feel-good, undifferentiated music seemed to described what was taking place around us. He ended with what I believe was the instrumental version of "Stranglehold" meets "Barstools and Dreamers."
One of Tacoma's most talented individuals jumped up on stage next. Painter, writer and performer Jeremy Silas shared his thoughts through prose with the room, reading from his cell phone and several notebooks, breaking into song here and there. His tonal range was impressive.
The last act we caught before heading off for family time was the local band A Leaf. Think of A Leaf as an audio chill room: a sonic escape from all the noisy garage and indie I've been enjoying lately. A Leaf's gorgeous mix of Summer of Love melodies and dreamy vocal harmonies transported us to a gently semi-psychedelic place. I'm in love with this band.
