April 3rd: The Near Misses, Jeff Black, & Sun Domingo


I'm a little tardy in posting the blog entries from early April - had to run off to vacation and some underwater photography. Better late than never?

Thursday night, April 3rd, The Evening Muse hosted a very good line-up of musicians. First up was The Near Misses. This is a group of ladies that I had heard of before, but had never seen perform live. Their performance on this night matched what I had heard of them in that they sang in a well blended harmony of four talented female singers. But not only can they sing, they perform their instruments with the same melodious harmony. This comes together in a sound that is a joy to listen to. I picked up their CD entitled "Marigold", which was produced by Joe Kuhlmann and the band. A very nice addition to the musical collection.


Next up was a gentleman I had never heard before - Jeff Black. Now Jeff has a following! There were people who had come from as far away as Virginia - with one friend of Jeffs taking a detour in his travels from Melbourne Australia - (Collin). It did not take long to understand why Jeff would have such a following. He is a troubadour - in the very definition of the term. A talented singer, songwriter and musician I was very lucky to have caught his show.



The late show on this cold evening was a band I have heard and photographed before. Atlanta' Sun Domingo was back in town and is a must see for me. They gave quite a performance even though the weather and late time kept the attendance down from what it normally is when they play the Muse. Jason, Edge and Nathan all had a pretty good time putting on this show. I can't wait for their CD to become available - which should be very soon.

Until next time...
Cheers,
