Wednesday January 21 I made my way to my first show of the year! With no Jamaica trip this year, it seemed like it was pretty late for my first show! Stephen Kellogg got the honor and it was my first time to the SHU Community Theater in Fairfield. Stephen is counting down to his 300th show and we were I believe show number 2979. Opening up the show was guster sinatra, fronted by SKs friend Don Miggs. It was one of their first nights together as a band playing, so I will cut them some slack on my review.
Then it was time for Stephen, who had put together an all star band “the homecoming” for this run of shows. He played a lot of throwback/SK6ers songs including 2 of my favorites – Gravity and My Favorite Place. But he still managed to mix in some new stuff as well. He also threw in a few new stories that I hadn’t heard before – and after seeing the same guy in concert for 20+ years, on older songs that becomes more and more of a rare treat.
SHU Community theater was a great little place with an absolutely wonderful staff and I’d definitely consider going back there again sometime.
