bookmark_borderThe End: Best Unplugged Set

Posted on by admin

The best unplugged set of the year was The End playing Steel City. On December 29, 2009, The End played to the roar of a capacity crowd. Starting with the seasonal song 6 B.C., the 5-piece’s sound was crystal clean and buoyant. The audience fed off the energy and radiated it back to the stage… giving the band an over-the-top boost. Ending with the song The End Of The End, both band and audience were lifted to new heights. The End Of The End was the beginning of a brand new thing.

Keep your eye out for The Paper Tongues. They are an up-and-coming band with an energetic stage presence. They will be on tour soon. In the mean time, they say, “A couple of us are headed out to the country to see our guitar guru, Andy Elliot. He makes THE perfect guitar and can fix anything. He once put back together a broken Sitar…which is made from a plant. Check him out. www.elliottguitarsnc.com”

One of the best concert moments of 2009 was Jason Mraz with G-Love and K-naan. When Jason Mraz came to the Festival Pier in Philadelphia, it was a sold out show. The place was packed. As a special surprise for his fans, he performed a set on a special stage set-up in the midst of the audience. The crowd went nuts.
