solid show on The Walking In Between RecTour

Great set in support of new LP, different from one seen earlier this year, made this show solid for me. The guy has great stage presence with perfect banter between the songs. Good audience involvement, too. Backing band was spot on, following all the stops and starts in the set. Only wish the show had been a bit longer, coming in just about an hour and 15 minutes. Several songs should have been added – “Beautiful” and “Moving Backwards,” just to name two.
Venue is very conducive for concerts. Nice sight lines and sound from VIP area in balcony. Pleasant staff, too. No line when we arrived in the middle of the opening act. Promotional parking lot around the corner was full, but found free on-street parking right across the street on Irving Place. Plenty of places to eat in the neighborhood rounds out this locale.
