I remembered a notebook this time! Accordingly, I have added a list of all the bands that were played tonight below. I think in general, I liked more of the songs that were played last month, but there were some very good artists today, specifically Brae and Fur. Illymack was also pretty good. The song that was played had a bit of a country feel to it, which I appreciated. I also liked the jazz feel to Nick Waterhouse. He was compared to "ADELE after going to the dentist" by one of the attendees, and while I'm not sure I can agree with the dentist part, he does remind me of ADELE. I also quite liked Horse Feathers. They had something of a folk feel. It was also what was described as "pretty." I would describe it as having a very light-hearted violin part.
Brae closed out the show this month. He's very good. He had great stage presence and he's a very talented percussionist. Seeing the drummer sing was also very refreshing. I think it contributed to me preferring his live music over his album because it brought some focus to the percussion, and my favorite part of Brae's songs are the drums; he writes great beats. They played a few songs from a forthcoming album, and they made me very excited for it.
