[ATTENDED: November 14, 2017] Marc Scibilia
I hadn’t heard of Marc Scibilia before this show. He did perhaps the most intelligent think I’ve seen an opening folkie act do. He had a kick drum with his name on it. He never played the drum, it was just there as a simple advertisement (my name is hard to spell, he explained).
When the show started (exactly on time), he came out on stage, walked up to the keyboard and started playing a song. He didn’t say what it was, but possibly “Out of Style.”
It was good. Kinda of dancey, but definitely rocking. When the song was over he picked up an acoustic guitar and started playing a different song. As he started playing he stomped on an electronic drum (it wasn’t the kick drum, because he was too far away and the drum head never vibrated–it was just one of those stomp drum things. And that simple addition really made the folkie songs a lot more rocking.
And then he spoke to us. (more…)
