Trouble in the Wind @ Boar's Crossing

On November 13th a handful of friends and I went down to check out Boar's Crossing's house band, Trouble in the Wind. The band is made up of five members with instruments including the acoustic guitar, accordion, stand up bass, drums, banjo, and melodic. Their sound is really unique and lively. Everyone was tapping their foot to beat of every song. The singer's voice is very distinct and rich with emotion which added to the band's overall presence. Aside from their sound and good music I really enjoyed the crowd that went to see them. Like I said, everyone was into it. Feet were tapping, people were dancing and even singing along. No one moved from their spots when the band took a break. They wanted to be right up front. My favorite songs were definitely the ones with the banjo. I love the twang that the banjo offers and it also perfectly complimented the vocals. I also loved the accordion. You don't see many of those in bands in USA and it's a crying shame. It has such a fun and funky sound. Jumping back to the crowd, it was people of all ages...people of all ages but it didn't seem like it. The 50+ group were just as rowdy (if not rowdier) than the younger crowd. I also am a sucker for dancing, so when a hired DJ mixed oldies and pop hits while Trouble in the Wind was taking their break, the dance floor opened up with my favorite crowd bumping to the jams.

Very fun and entertaining night. I look forward to their next show!
