You've heard of Craig's List? It's time for Ben's List for 2007.
Ben Norton, still in grade school, is one of the youngest volunteers at the Narrows. Nonetheless, since he's been growing up at the Narrows, his musical sophistication is well beyond his years.
Without further ado, here's the word from Ben:
In no particular order!
Rasputina--Gothic but rockin'.
Sarah Borges and Broken Singles--Good as usual.
Drunk Stuntmen--Drunk as usual (Note from your Backstage Blogger: Ben is just goofing here. At least I think he is!)
Old School Freight Train--Cool cats.
Tripping Lily--Local but good! (Note from your Backstage Blogger: Ben is apparently cleverly alluding to the misconception that if you're local, you can't be good--which as we all know, including Ben, is not true.)
Richie Havens--Awesome.
New Riders of the Purple Sage--Good show.
Holmes Brothers--Poppy is funny! Shout out to him. (Note from your Backstage Blogger: Hey Poppy! We're shoutin' out to you!)
The John Cowan Band--Great musicians.
Buckwheat Zydeco--He has cool alligator shoes.
