As promised, New York City’s premier two-man band, The Two Man Gentlemen Band, entertained a large crowd despite quite a downpour here at SPACE on Saturday. They taught us some awfully complicated dance moves, instructed us on the fine art of singing along, and even gave a bit of a math lesson regarding prime numbers. The two gents remarked that it was by far the finest state debut they’ve ever had, so let’s hope that they’ll come back for another visit soon!
Local vaudevillian enthusiasts Over A Cardboard Sea opened, with help from a few extra friends on horns, saws, and slide guitars! To quote the Gents’ Andy Bean on Mark Tipton’s trumpet playing, “Gee, this guy can really play!” It’s true!
The night began with some traditional bluegrass jams from the Grassholes, who crowded around the front of the stage, as if huddled around a fire on a cold night. Or maybe they just don’t like their bassist? Either way, they sounded great. Check out the full photo gallery from the show below:
