A "night at the opera" ... Not really, but better!

We decided on going to see a band last night that a lot of people had been describing as, "must see," on the Cape... And they were right! The group is called Sarah Swain & The Oh Boys and they play a hard driving mix of country, blues and rock-a-billy. We saw them at a packed house at Harvest Wine Bar and the energy couldn't have been higher. In fact after a few pints of some very nice Cape Cod Oatmeal Stout even your humble narrator got onto the dance floor (also very packed!) And at the break I spent some time with Sarah and found her to be not only very genuine but very sweet... An unusual combination for one who delivers hard pounding music in a gritty rock style. She told me that almost everything they do are her original compositions and though I was told that they do an occasional cover, I didn't notice any last night .. (Although that could have also had something to do with the Oatmeal Stout) So if you have a chance to see to see them I urge you to do so... Even at their standing room only venues ... It will be worth it!
