Street Machine weekend was a blast,with beautiful weather, beautiful cars and beautiful music from The Cody Hall band and Alyssa McQuaid and Coyote Junction playing a special concert / beer gardens fundraiser for Youth One, Friday, July 7.
I’m glad the organizers added a beer gardens, sponsored by local internet radio station jessfm.ca, and live music to accompany the watching of cool cars.
I caught most of the Concert for A Cause which included my first opportunity to see local country band the Cody hall band.
The band took the opportunity to play for a good sized crowd to play a whole bunch of upbeat country originals. They also added a few covers including a capable cover of Tom Petty’s “Freefalling.”
They ended their set by turning Wheatus’s quirky ’90s one hit wonder “Teenage Dirtbag into a pretty cool country song.
Alyssa McQuaid and Coyote Junction also concentrated on original music, showcasing the individual songwriters in the band.
They also added a couple of key covers including a haunting version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” and some pure fun with covers of “500 Miles” and Cadillac Ranch” as well as a n excellent version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop.”
