Kelli Schaefer’s debut album Ghost of the Beast arrived in the mail yesterday.  While giving the record a first listen, I’m posting her Denver set from November.

The limited-edition vinyl release can be purchased directly from Amigo/Amiga, but I’m sure you can pick it up in-person at Moe’s Original BBQ this Friday, where Kelli will be opening for The Head & the Heart.

Chris Durant was double-booked on drums Saturday night, so Amazing Twin (formerly Old Radio) ended up playing an abridged set.  To make up for the brevity, we were treated to three unreleased songs.  Amazing Twin’s debut, New Wives’ Tale, was released in November and is available digitally via CDBaby and iTunes.   Look for vinyl in the near future!
