After the Hoot there was: James Intveld and Rosie Flores
For those who don't wish to melt in 90 degree temps, there are several nighttime events after the Hootenanny to meet that desire. One of those events was the James Intveld/Rosie Flores show at the Blue Cafe this past Saturday night. Can you say "supercharged" like the Energizer Bunny? I'm sure you can! That's exactly what this show was all about.
When Rosie hit the stage as the opening act, I wasn't quite there yet. Having new carpet installed in your place will make you late every time. But, once I hit the parking lot, a few songs into her set, I could hear Rosie's voice echoing through the night sky. I realized how much I'd missed seeing her play, because it'd been a few years, and I don't get out as much as I used to. I eventually make my rounds slowly and Rosie is a sure bet to make you rock the night away. She's the little Rockabilly Filly from Austin who stirs it up!
She certainly set the stage right, because when it was time for James Intveld to take it, the crowd was really ready! And, he took their souls and ran with it. The girls were weak at the knees, and I'd say the guys were pretty mesmerized themselves! A veteran takes the stage and commands it - that is what James Intveld did. When he's onstage, he can take the tiger by the tail and wind it around his finger. And you know, when I do go out I want to be assured I have a good time, and I did, regardless of the fact that I worked sun up to sun down!
I could go on, but would rather share some pictures to capture the night. Pictures tell the story.
