Local Music

Last week was one of good music.  The old East End Cafe in Newark has recently re-opened as Mojo on Main and is hosting a good number of local bands.  Tuesday we went to see an excellent performance by Katie Dill (front woman for Diego Paulo) perform sort of an electronic set.  Great.  Then the Spinto Band, a local Wilmington band who has had some success with a song entitled Oh Mandy.  Great time.

The Thursday we headed up to Philly to the Trocadero with Timm and Rach to see Josh Ritter.  The opening band was a solo performance by Scott Hutchison (of Frightened Rabbit) - a great Scottish folk rock singer.  He performed a great set with a particularly touching song called Old Old Fashioned that really struck a chord with me.  Josh Ritter was awesome as always.  I think this is the 4th time we've seen him and he just keeps getting better - we've never seen someone have so much fun on stage.  They did a Valentines tribute reading little messages from people in the crowd and featuring a slow dance, ala middle school, during the bridge of one of their songs.  We had a really great time.
