Trigger Hippy rocked the house. This is a group of extremely talented, veteran musicians who played a tight set of rock and blues. Knocked it out of the park.
Have wanted to catch these guys since I caught wind of them in 2011 or so, and they certainly did not disappoint! Have always enjoyed Jackie and Joan, especially once they mixed into the Grateful Dead world through Phil and they sound great together. Great harmonies and trading of vocals between the two of them. I was not too familiar with Tom Bukovac, but I was very impressed by his playing. Songs that stood out included Turpentine, Don't let me down (Beatles), Pocahontas, Snatchin', Ain't Persuaded (which I believe was the song with the "Use Me" riff), When This Battle Is Over, Tennessee Mud, Fire On The Mountain Jam to end the show, and Heartache On The Line. Really fun band, only complaint I could come up with was that I wish Jackie played guitar a bit more. Certainly recommend this band!
Great show...new and exciting band with lots of potential
Joan Osborne is one of my favorite singers. I love her voice. She is an incredible singer. I have seen in play as a duet four times. I do not like her in Hippy Trigger! You could not hear or understand the words she was singing. The vocals were not loud enough and the rest of the music was too loud. Very disappointed. I will not go to another Hippy Tripper event. We ended up leaving after the third song.
Trigger Hippy was awesome Jackie Greene outdid himself fantastic performance, the band played with the professionalism and flow expected from such high end musicians. The Brooklyns really got the crowd going pumping some serious energy like I haven’t felt in years, being real having fun with the crowd living the moment as true souls of music, I have to say Trigger Hippy almost lost the crowd to this new comers, they showed some serious power on that stage and I can’t wait to hear them Rock again live they were AMAZING!!!!!!! The brooklyns Guitarists Tom and Sean in tune guitar solo they Rocked my world SEAN was unreal I havent seen a guitar being played so flawlesly since (Disturbed-Stricken) and Tom drinking a beer While playing Dude that was Epic this guys brought back the GUITAR HERO .
Classic show,lotsa talent and playing with something to prove,which they did!!!Rockin show!!
Great energy, superb talent, flawless execution Could have been best concert I've ever been to, but for sound guys turning volume WAY too high. Acoustics are decent at Port City Music, but - with earplugs - decibel level was mostly painful. This band generates their own power, they shouldn't let it be pushed past the point of comfort
I had high expectations for this show - and they were exceeded. Jackie Greene brought high energy, enthusiasm, soulful vocals, and expert musicianship both on guitar and keys. The guitar interplay between he and Tom Bukovac evoked images of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts - without sounding a thing like the Allman Brothers. Steve Gorman (drums) and Nick Govrik (bass) held down a steady anchor, and we were even treated to a few songs with Nick on vocals. I was really expecting novelty songs, throwing the bass player a bone, but these songs were worth their salt as well and definitely not just filler. And Joan Osborne - what can I say? Her vocals are top notch, whether singing a lead, trading vocals with Jackie, or just backing up. As far as I can tell this was an all original setlist. I'm not super familiar with TH's body of work, but there wasn't a song I didn't enjoy grooving to. I will not hesitate to see this band again whenever they are within striking distance of my home. You should give them a shot if they are playing near you. You won't regret it.
