Local rock band The Living Luca, a revamped version of popular rock band NSR had an enthusiastic crowd at Henotic, Feb. 5. It was an even bigger crowd than the Plaid Tongued Devils playing downstairs, as the Living Luca were playing a packed GCBC Lounge.
Singer Bridgette Yarwood showed she continues to be a born frontwoman, smiling and chatting with the audience in between dancing all over the stage and belting out uptempo modern rock with those golden pipes of hers.
She showed immense vocal range and didn’t miss a note, proving she was born to be on stage.
Her band, including brother Brendon on drums who was equally engaging with the crowd as well as new guitarist Ivan DeReina and bassist Mason Schaffer played together like seasoned pros instead of a band who were playing together for just three weeks (as Schaffer only joined three weeks ago.)
They played several old NSR songs as well as some new originals. Excellent.
