John and James- A Fun Show

John Lott was in great form, funny, great songwriting and guitar work, irreverent but reverent, protesty, hard core life which is his specialty.  He performed a few covers, but mostly his own stuff, he even let me play along on banjo on a couple of folk songs.  John came with a band, Wayne Brown on drums, Gregg on bass and James Taylor played lead guitar. Their style is folk to folk rock with some blues thrown in.  James is a phenomenal guitar player and they do a wonderful rendition of Freebird.  Jame played by himself for part of the show and stopped the crowd in its tracks with an acoustic version of Lord of the Dance.  He didn't miss a note in a very complex arrangement.  James has a wonderful voice and also is a good songwriter.  If the right people hear him, he won't be playing here long.  Everyone I talked to really enjoyed the show, it was a lot of fun and the music was wonderful.  Local talent at its best, what more can you say.
