As Sonoi, special guests of White Rabbits, made their way to the stage and people crowded around, it was clear this show was going to be good. Zanzabar, packed to the hilt, welcomed the well know Indie Rock artists to Louisville. Familiar faces to the Louisville music scene were thrilled the guys were in town.
Born in Michigan, raised in Florida, and now living in New York City, Diego Garcia is well traveled and well versed in music. Diego found his love at age 14 when he learned classical guitar. Shortly after graduating from Brown University, Garcia left for NYC to pursue his love of music. As a member of the now broken band, Elefant, Garcia helped pen many of the songs on their three full length albums.
Speaking from personal experience, The California Guitar Trio (CGT) is as good as they were the last time I saw them, at Glassworks and will be the next time I see them and I will see them. Zanzabar hosted the CGT and Sandpaper Dolls for a super duper good time. The house was lying in wait for these gents to take the stage following a fantastic a capella set by The Sandpaper Dolls. The Dolls warmed up the crowd with smooth voices in harmony and could be heard from the front of the house.
There are so many puns and snide cultural references I could make when writing about doughnuts. For instance, Homer Simpson would love the "d'oh" nuts at Nord's bakery. HOLE-y cow these doughnuts are fried perfection! Nord's is the cream of the crop, the icing on top. These maple bacon doughnuts will make you go HOG WILD. Yar har, these long johns be the best in the seven seas! I'm crazed for the glazed at Nord's Bakery! The list goes on.

About the same time Pearl Jam released Ten, three guys with three guitars formed California Guitar Trio (CGT) that would tour the world for 20 years and counting. California Guitar Trio toured Louisville in 2000, 2001, and 2002 at The Rudyard Kipling; 2003 at First Quality Music Supply; stopped by the WFPK studios and Uncle Pleasant’s in 2004; 2005 at Headliners; 2006 at Clifton Center Theatre; 2008 at The Listening Center; 2008 at 21C; 2009 at Glassworks – well, you get the idea. CGT loves Louisville!
I must admit to not having heard much of The Felice Brothers’ music prior to this show. Regular listeners to 91.9 WFPK are likely familiar with their new single “Fire at the Pageant,” the hypnotic, chaotic folk song about a man risen from the dead. This song pumps me up so much that, despite not having heard anything else, as soon as I heard they would be performing at Zanzabar, I knew I had to go.
