Another chance to see Altameda in concert, count me in, love this band. This would be my 15th time seeing the band in concert. This show was at The Temple/Starlite Room. I went to this show with Buzzard, A-Bomb, Cuz and Nazz.
Opening the show was Evan James Redsky who also plays bass in Altameda. Evan is based in Toronto. Hailing from the First Nations Reserve of Mississaughi First nation. Evan's opening set was just himself on guitar playing a roots folk style of music about his indigenous upbringing. He only played about 20-30 minutes playing songs from his latest release Oblivion. His set was alright.
Next up was a band out of Seattle called Small Paul, a four piece band that play indie Americana style rock n' roll. I thought they were a pretty damn good band. I liked how the drummer and lead singer switched between instruments. They played about a 40 minute set consisting of songs from their debut album Come Alive & Live Again. A great set and a band to watch for.
Headlining the evening was Toronto band formerly from Edmonton Altameda. Always a treat to see this band and as always they put on a great show. It was nice to hear some new songs with the band opening the set with a new song called "Wild One" and two other new songs "Stuck In Your Ways" and "Leave Your Light On" spread out through the set. I'm looking forward to a new album hopefully in 2024. Altameda closed their set with the Bob Dylan song "The Man In Me" which saw openers Small Paul join Altameda for the final song of the night. Even if buddy from Small Paul couldn't play the harmonica worth a damn in that song. But it sure looked like everyone on stage was having a blast. Good times!!!
