We got to play a wonderful show at Whitehaus with Glenn Jones, Kath Bloom, and Jaggery. Whitehaus is a big old house in Jamaica Plain, MA, where many people live and put on shows. How many people exactly? I was going to ask, and then I saw this toothbrush holder and decided the answer was "many."
We have old friends at Whitehaus in Jamaica Plain, though this was our first time there: one of the house bands, Peace, Loving played at our old place, Clawfoot House, in Nebraska. It was good to see Kate again. And Whitehaus has a similar energy to those Clawfoot House shows; we felt at home. Someone made butternut squash soup. I liked the magpie-nest chandeliers.
The show got started and everyone piled into the parlor. Glenn Jones played first, gorgeous instrumental pieces for 12-string guitar and banjo. He is amazing.
This was our third show with Kath Bloom, who played next. She was sublime. It was a fitting kind of room for her music, and her band sounded so good.
Gary, Philip and I jumped on for a couple of Kath's songs and everyone had a good time. Kath and Tom played violin and recorder and sang with us for "Your Words" and "Houston" during our set, too. Their harmonies lent the songs an emotional spookiness. The audience was very cool.
Jaggery played last, keyboard, upright bass and violin. Mali's vocal-range gymnastics were impressive.
And someone wrote a live review of the show, with video of Glenn. Our time in Boston was just great. Gary let off a smoke bomb to celebrate.
