The Late Show: Lowry - Transmission Fields

The talk about Saturday nights late show started Friday night a week ago, as friends were gathered and looked forward to the next great weekend of music at The Evening Muse. Don and Laurie Koster both beamed as they looked forward to seeing Lowry, while Michele and the ladies from TripleS went on about the Rock band Transmission Fields.

As I have said before, it's always wise to listen to the voices of experience! This was truly a complete night of musical bliss - and what's better is that each performance was unique!

In short, Lowry was fantastic! I find it hard to describe their sound. It was a folky, rock, country, soulful, electric kind of sound that resulted in us buying 2 CD's - which I find myself listening to on this Monday morning while I process photos and write these thoughts... The lyrical creativity of Alex Lowry is very fresh while the melodies provide the complexity desired and expected from a talented group of musicians. Heidi Sidelinker provides just the right harmony to Alex's voice! Together the band produces a beautiful sound! Check 'em out on their MySpace page - link below.


For some reason or another I have missed various shows by Transmission Fields - a local Charlotte Rock band. Having heard of them for quite some time now, this was an excellent opportunity to catch a show. An added bonus on this night was the fact that they were being joined on stage by singer Reeve Coobs and rock guitarist Adam Middleton of the Stellas. A good rock'n set was a great way to close out this awesome night and Transmission Fields delivered!
