 I only caught their second set.


 Reid played upbeat folk/ rock music which reminded me of Kathleen Edwards as she and Pillgrim took turns singing verses of the song and added harmonies on others.

Pillgrim was quick with a tasteful guitar solo.
 Reid played several new song sang  several from her CD ‘Temperance Hotel,’ which was released a couple of years ago.


  “Sympathy”  about “ creepy people” was a highlight featuring some catchy electric guitar from Pillgrim to it was a highlight of the show as was the upbeat “Let It Go.”
 She also added a Loretta Lynn cover as well as her own songs.

While they were mostly playing  alt country and folk music, a few songs had a smokey jazz feel.
