The Lone Bellow played the Varsity Theater last night.

This is just a quick post to get some basic information, tour dates, photos, and setlists online, as soon as possible.

Hugh Masterson

Opening up the show was Hugh Masterson, aka Hugh Bob, who we previously saw with Cracker in 2014. Although as Hugh Bob and the Hustle, they primarily played country music, as Hugh Masterson, especially armed with just an acoustic guitar, he sounded more folk/singer-singer-writer.

Favorite song on his set was "Milwaukee Man", which got an unsolicited clap-along from the audience, thanks to its great beat.

For the penultimate song, he's joined on stage by Anderson East. For the final song, he actually had to get another guitar because he popped a spring on his regular guitar.

Anderson East

Anderson East (aka Michael Anderson) is with a full band. The southern soul band was last seen in the area when they played Chipotle's Cultivate in August 2015.

Although there were plenty of songs from their latest album Delilah (Low Country Sounds/Elektra), they added three cover songs on their set (Van Morrison, Faces, and Eddie Floyd).

Devil In Me
Only You
Quit You
Lonely
Tupelo Honey (Van Morrison cover)
Stay With Me (Faces cover)
Keep the Fire Burning
Knock On Wood (Eddie Floyd cover)
Find 'Em, Fool 'Em and Forget 'Em
Satisfy Me

The Lone Bellow was only in the area last March 2015, their current setlist is very different from the March show.

The highlight of their show was the encore, a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain". The band said they were recording the live performance and will make it available to their fans... "but please don't tell Prince." At the end of the song, the Varsity Theater blew in a slow, snow-like confetti from the ceiling... which under purple lighting made it look like a real 'purple rain'.

More details later.
