Kelly Joe Phelps
Underdog and I drove over to the Norwood Village Green to see Kelly Joe Phelps play Sunday night.
Amazing show--slide and fingerstyle acoustic. The only depressing thought was the small crowd gathered, maybe 150 people for a free evening concert including a relatively large number who left mid-show (apparently they just show up each Sunday night during the summer concert series and decide after a song or two whether or not it's an act they like). Phelps' next stop on his tour is a show at The Knitting Factory on Tuesda night, so maybe he'll draw a more appropriately sized crowd then. (Not that I'm complaining--it's great to see world-class acts show up where I can go see them play, living as I do at the fringes of civilization.)
