Chuck Prophet, out of San Francisco, did a heck of a show at the Narrows on Monday night.On the left, he gets down and nasty with a scorching solo. Chuck is a damn fine guitar player, though most people focus on his songs and singing.
Backstage at the Narrows gossip: We learned from one of the band members that Chuck's music is a favorite among 17 to 19 year old females browsing myspace.com. Go figure!
Over in the photo to the right he grimaces about something. That's a "grimace" isn't it? Or am I getting confused with the "Grimace Who Stole Christmas." But I digress.That's his wife Stephanie Finch behind him playing keyboards. We don't think she had anything to do with his expression.
Backstage at the Narrows gossip: Chuck, despite being the star, was hauling equipment like any band member. This is not the case for some bands that perform at the Narrows. Chuck is probably a Commie.
The opener was the Providence-based Americana group, Lucky 57, the Providence Phoenix's Best Roots Act for 2005 . We had some nice stage shots, but we weren't used to our new camera and, poof, they went to digital heaven. Or maybe digital hell.
But we did get (and keep!) decent shots as they were loading out on the "dock of death" right behind the Narrows. Despite having treacherous steps, poor lighting, and probably rats with big teeth, not one person hauling musical equipment has been killed, permanently maimed or sustained an injury that could stand up in a court of law.
In this photo, Lucky 57 is thanking their lucky stars that every band member made it off the loading dock alive.
Wait a minute. Where's the bass player?
Uh oh.
