His 1st ever gig in the Garden State...Toms Riverfest.
He was great. Sang great, played great, band was great. He surprisingly only played his tele on 3 songs...he was favoring a goldtop LP and black Strat all night. If he's not careful, he'll be banned to the Bad Dog Cafe (non-tele) forum!
I was too far away to get a good look at his amps, but there were 2 that were unmistakable: a BadCat and a Vox AC30. He had 5 various amps/cabs, all stacked on top of each other (the Vox was sideways).
I highly recommend a KU show if you haven't seen one- he's not a run-of-the-mill, put on some too-tight jeans & a cowbay hat, turn on your ProTools & go stand there and sing, kind of performer. Very dynamic, very interactive with the crowd.
On the other hand- I don't recommend Toms Riverfest. Yikes. Held on a high school campus, no alcohol, and not a darn thing to do but stand in line to buy TICKETS, which you then stand in line to use to buy everything else there. Which is pretty much just carnival food. A joke, really. They pulled in some decent names tho- Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Maroon 5, Southside Johnny, Fuel, KU.
