MUSIC: All Hallows Eve Spooks AS220
Thursday, November 01, 2012
Infectious folk-rock from Rich Ferri & The Wealth on the Water were part of a stirring All Hallows eve at AS220.
The Sugar Honey Iced Tea
Dressed as a Moth, a Spider and a Bee, The Sugar Honey Iced Tea's folk sounds were absolutely beautiful. Awesome tunes that definitely kicked the night off just right. "Blessings & Blues", "Sister Stay Away","The Dino Song" and "China Shop" featured in a glowing performance from one of the best female acts in Providence today.
Kristen Ford
As not your usual cat with whiskers, flannel and crazy curly hair, Kristen Ford's soulful voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar enthralled the audience, so powerful that it didn't even seem like she needed a microphone. A breath of fresh air, it's always satisfying when you see what a talented musician can do with just a guitar and an emphatic voice. Kristen definitely upped the ante with "February Sun" and "Bag of Bones" along with an earth-shattering stage presence that just couldn't be ignored. You also shouldn't ignore her album The Grindstone accompanied with her activity book and mixtape that she has available at her shows. Something you gotta pick up to give your ears some good vibrations.
