THURSDAY - I would get wet for Brett Caswell and the Marquee Rose again.
Their infectious and catchy songs dried out my wet spirits after getting drenched in the rain. As I stood snapping away among my fellow photographers, I watched how Caswell and his band mates masterly crafted a mood that elevated every soul who was present for the Audio Blood showcase at Sneaky Dee’s.
Playing the majority of their songs from their last album, A New Balance, the real treat of the night was inviting a horn section (a trombone and trumpet) on stage. It was something that Caswell said they hardly ever get to do for a live show and it created a mood that was mellow, light and joyous.
This high continued until the end of their set when they finished with “L.O.V.E”. Indeed, there was something in the air; people singing along, others linked arm-in-arm and dancing. Brett Caswell and the Marquee Rose injected a dose of something good. Whatever it was, it kept my step light and heart happy as I ventured back out into the rain that night.
