It’s really great when there are bands in Burlington that have been around for a few years, and they still get everyone in Burlingon super excited for a show. Par example, Ryan Power and the Cush. I’d seen the names everywhere, but it took me a few years in Burlington before I was actually able to see a show from either of them.
Ryan performs solo, using an mp3 player as a backing track, and delivers a really magical performance. I’ve seen him many times and still thoroughly enjoy.
The Cush is just a great band. Good songs, well performed with all of the elements that make me a happy listener these days. I’ve seen them in a few incarnations (not nearly as many as there have been), but with a new record soon to be finished, I’m looking forward to some new tunes, as well as a few from New Appreciation that I’ve grown to know and love.
What is also really great? When a band has such buzz around town and people are still figuring out, “do we like these guys?”
Thus The Vacant Lots. What do you think?
