Bruce Hornsby great - solo @ Snoqualmie
by Lizbethup on 7/16/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmieHornsby plays gigs with The Noisemakers, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and jazz with the Bruce Hornsby Trio of Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette; but my favorite are the solo gigs. You never know where the musical ride takes you at Hornsby gigs, but the rides are wilder when riding with just Hornsby and his Steinway. Old favorites of "Mandolin Rain" (minor key version), "Valley Road" and "The Way It Is" were interspersed with new songs from his soon to be released album, "Levitate". Boogie-woogie a la Leon Russel, Bach's Goldberg Variations, Danny Boy, Bill Evans - all join, transform. All become a Bruce Hornsby solo concert experience. Great!
