I did not want to miss revamped local rockabilly trio, Bent 8 who were playing at Jimmy’s Pub on the south side, JUne 5
Guitarist/singer Dino Caravaggio and the band including stand up bassist Pat Ackerman played a couple upbeat sets of high octane rockabilly including Johnny Cash’s ‘Get Rhythm’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues,’ as well as numerous originals which had a couple of frenetically dancing girls having a good time in front of the stage.
Caravaggio had the rockabilly greaser voice down pat as well as the big, loud fat Gretsch sound you need to get the job done properly. It was excellent.
