Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton open, do not miss
by Hoot on 12/9/22Ovens Auditorium - CharlotteRating: 4 out of 5Those two with a HOT freaking band may be my favorite set of the year. Only thirty minutes so it's balls out save for one sweet acoustic duet on a Townes Van Zandt song. Great and complementary guitar work; they sound great together.
We were really there to see Samantha. We are both big Allman fans. We stayed for an hour and it was good. Sometimes, great. Luther Dickinson rips on guitar as does the other lead player. Highlights for me were Jimmy Hall coming out with his harp to sing Statesboro Blues, the River Kittens doing maybe the best Come and Go Blues ever, and a well-played Liz Reed. Devon is fine, you can hear Gregg there.
Keys guy was very good, sharper than late Gregg. Drums and percussion were underwhelming but that may just be a mix thing. While they jam some, it's nothing like a great Brothers show, but I would repeat if they were at a fest or something.
