It was Friday night and everything was just right at The Spot in Providence. One of the hottest folk-rock acts in the city in Consuelo's Revenge put on a extravaganza to celebrate the release of their self-titled debut album. The bill was stacked with Dylan Sevey, Smith & Weeden and Girls Guns & Glory sharing the stage. Folk, country and good ol' fashioned rock & roll resonated through the speakers which always means a good time. If you were on a musical treasure hunt in downtown Providence on this night of nights, then The Spot was definitely where the x was marked.

Dylan Sevey

Dylan Sevey started things off playing solo with his jet black acoustic guitar and he showed how consistent he can be as a musician with his bluesy rock tunes and frictionlessly smooth voice. "Dear Pandora", "Dreams That I Dream About You", "Good Week", switching to mandolin to play the Celtic classic "Black Jack Davey", The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down", "Yearlong Autumn" and "We Can Get Things Right" encompassed a beautifully intimate performance. Dylan Sevey and his band The Gentlemen will be performing next at The Spot as part of the first night of The Artistic Explosion Music Festival to benefit music education in Rhode Island during 990WBOB's Mondays On Blast on April 22nd. Come on down and check out on of the best bands in Rhode Island while donating to a great cause.

Smith & Weeden

Next up was a rock & roll band that blows through the speakers unlike anyone else, Smith & Weeden with Diamond Rugs' Bryan Dufresne guesting on drums turned the amps up to 11 and tore the stage apart. "Wonderin'", "Aim To Please", "Sunshine", "Grace & Glory", "Boys In Bands", "Drinking Through Some Issues" and "Playin' A Apart" showed what Smith & Weeden does best, and that's rocking your face off to oblivion. Smith & Weeden will be playing next at The Gas Lamp Grill in Newport on April 20th with Castle, make your way up for what should be a blazingly good time.
