SWEATY STAGE NO CHALLANGE FOR BAND
Hey its tough to play at 3:15 on a saturday afternoon at City Stages' Coca-Cola Classic Stage. The audience? Usually small. The sun? Typically hot. The challenge? Uphill all the way. So it was a pleasant surprise to find Big Daddy's New Band undaunted by all that, having a great time pushing out some "let's boogie" blues and danceable R&B. These are eight solid performers--no flies on hip-wiggling, eye candy singer Lisa Stewart-- and they know how to entertain. The well oiled group built momentum as the hour long set progressed. They laid down a full, deep groove on each song, then proceeded to ornament it with solos. Good stuff.
