Saturday night the Narrows welcomed roots youngsters Crooked Still for the first time.
It was a packed house, maybe a sell-out, which we were surprised at since the group really hadn't worked the area much, other than playing at Summerfest in New Bedford a couple years back.
But Crooked Still showed why a lot of the crowd was willing to travel from Boston--some even attending the group's show the preceding night in Beantown--to hear them play.
They were charming, funny and experts at their instruments. Most of all the evening was just good-old-fashioned entertainment, roots-music style.

Some Crooked Still news: their fab cellist(above, left)--the only string player to ever get a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music--is leaving to focus on another project. So the group is being re-configured over the next few weeks.

I thought the drive from north of Boston was well worth it. I will really miss the original CS lineup, but wish everyone involved well as they explore further. Thanks to the Narrows Center for continuing to support quality artists.
