 They began their show with a long instrumental and continued with a laid back version of Cross Roads blues.


They  also played  a  few songs from their CD “Boredom is the Devil’s Tool” beginning with “ Break of Day,” which they followed up with a BB King cover and an excellent  cover of John Lee Hooker’s  “Dimples“ for which they picked up the tempo. A song, i think was called “Big City” was a highlight as was an extended jam on the set ending “Good to See You Smile.”


 Kaye played some tasteful leads on his Stratocaster, while Szuroczki and Magnus were locked into the groove.
