Review of Tom Principato Show at the Hamilton Friday May 1st

Great show at The Hamilton in DC last night. A sumptuous room with impeccable acoustics and delectable food with prompt service made for an ideal environment to hear Andy Poxon in his newly styled pompadour. The articulate Andy was aces as usual. Next came the DC Blues Explosion with Tom Principato in straight up full bore all blues and nothin’ but mode with Bill Heid on the keys, Big Joe Maher on the kit, and Steve Wolf on bass. Bill and Joe handled most of the vocals performing the kind of eclectic mix that only those two pros can deliver. You can catch them with Robert Frahm at the Cat’s Eye in Fells Point, Md. on May 20th and the third Wednesday of any month. A better evening could not be had.
