Pretty much anything goes at a Larimer Lounge Sunday BBQ, and Accordion Crimes took advantage of this to try something different.  The band situated themselves on the floor instead of on-stage, and did not run through the front of house PA.  This didn’t result in the best sounding show (vocals are often drowned out by other instruments), but it was certainly fun.

I’ve been sidelined from any posts for the last few weeks, but am finally back at it with a fine set by William Elliott Whitmore.  Even though Whitmore has been pumping out albums for over five years, I was only recently introduced to his material through the February release of Animals in the Dark.  The Larimer show brought in a fairly large crowd for a snowy Sunday night…but going into this show with no preconceptions or background on the artist, I was a bit surprised that Whitmore hasn’t already garned the well-deserved attention of a wider audience (the “NPR crowd”, if you will).  If Animals in the Dark gets into the hands of the right listeners, it won’t be long before we see him headling shows at the Bluebird or Swallow Hill.
