CON BRIO
The first thing you notice about a Con Brio show is the crowd. Smiling faces aren't buried in their phones, but are rapt to the stage. Before a recent club show, a fan base that spans generations mingles and reconnects after a long pandemic layoff. Friends and acquaintances share stories of past shows and festivals and settle on a common refrain: "We're all lucky to be here."
The band comes out fiery, "Like a party punk version of Sly & The Family Stone" (Consequence of Sound). Horns, guitar, keys, bass and drums get the crowd moving and set the stage for vocalist Sarah Clarke's entrance. With a voice that's equal parts Etta James-rich and Janis Joplin-raw, Clarke's vocal ties the musical room together. Nimble and assured, the band weaves through a setlist that mixes rockers, dance jams and soul (power)-ballads. The arrangements are variably tight and expansive, often breaking loose from verse-chorus form to spotlight the virtuosity of the band and its individual players.
FORREST DAY
Based out of Oakland, Forrest Day is a 5-piece band that's been performing concerts around the country for almost a decade. It's a true rags to riches story, but without any money. New album in the works, shows being booked, this wonka boat is showing no signs of slowing...
