A Lesson In the Aesthetics of Performance

Posted in Local Music on July 4th, 2008 by Ryan

If ever I’ve been reminded of the importance of a good stage show, last night was it. Any other quality bar band could have played the same songs as Unknown Hinson, although that doesn’t diminish the style and talent of the group (including Hinson’s stellar guitar). Nope, what put it over the top was the fact that all of these things were done under the guise of a 400-year-old rockabilly vampire with dubious lineage.

Music needs more 400-year-old rockabilly vampire with dubious lineage.
