With so many competing shows taking place Saturday, Jan. 22, I was both surprised and impressed to see good sized crowds at all
of them, though some of them showed up late.
A good sized crowd started to trickle into the Tongue N’ Groove for their rockabilly showdown with Bent 8 and Hurricane Felix and the Southern Twisters.
Both bands alternated sets throughout the night beginning with Bent 8 featuring Dean Wilson on drums. They played a vari
ety of popular covers including Elvis Presley’s “Baby Let’s Play House,” and Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm.”
Hurricane Felix and the Southern Twisters played a couple excellent sets of upbeat rockabilly with double Gretsch mayhem, a little steel guitar and stand up bass. it was a tight, well played set.
