I came into Marc’s Studio right before the show was supposed to start and the room was already full of people waiting to hear the musical stylings of Tim Chaisson and of Ian Sherwood.
Tim started out the show with his song “Would You Go So Far” from the Broken Hearted Beat album, followed by my favourite new song “Blast Your Way Out” and a combination of songs from his current album, songs that will be on his new album, and traditional Celtic songs that he played on the fiddle and on the mandolin. The sound in the venue was phenomenal, and with the accompaniment of Koady Chaisson on guitar and Ian Sherwood on sax for a couple of songs, it really made for a fantastic first set!
When Ian Sherwood got up to play next, I knew it was going to be a quality show as I’ve heard performances from last year’s ECMA in Charlottetown. He started the show out with the song “Jenny” that encompassed using his loop pedal to add vocals and other instruments. Adding the complexity of the loops in combination with his infectious voice, it had the crowd excited to hear more! He continued on with some more great songs including “What Am I Doing Here”, “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now”, and “Short End Of The Stick”. Tim Chaisson was also there to accompany Ian on the fiddle for a couple of songs to really get the crowd dancing in their seats.
Overall with the “mouth jigging” from Tim and the scatting from Ian combined with witty banter, interesting stories, and quality music, this was certainly a show to remember!
