Blitzen Trapper Rocked it!
by SKCP on 7/18/12Birchmere - AlexandriaWasn't sure how this show was going to turn out at first. I thought the small crowd might result in a low energy performance and then wondered where this show was going when Blitzen Trapper played Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" for their second song of the night. However, I quickly found that my concerns were unfounded. These guys rocked the place! They played their popular acoustic/softer songs like "Furr", "Lady on the Water", etc., but the majority of their set list was the best of their rock, so a lot of their best songs from their "Furr" and "Goldwing" albums. The result was a rocking good time! These guys are really talented musicians and it was impressive to see them switch back and forth between their various instruments...guitar, synth, harmonica, and keyboard to name a few. It was definitely worth seeing these musicians!
