I was expecting greatness and received much more... If I had to choose one word to summarize I'd say dynamic. Dyanamic Damien the bandis soooooo diverse. He sang without a mic nor a mic on his guitar for a song, absolutely blew the roof off with "Woman Like a Man" singing in a second mike with distortion. Standard "O" ballads, interesting looping in various songs, he sang in French and Spanish, I really can't think of anything this guy didn't do. Vyvienne playing "Purple Haze" on here cello? Smokin'!!!!!!!! The audience kept yelling "Cannonball" so the band members were joking back and forth saying "Cannonball Cannonball" in a high pitched voice. Damien looped it and they busted into a improvised freestyle of Cannonball and then came in with the standard version. It takes a lot of talent to engage a large group that's sitting down and they did it w/o any fancy lighting etc. Exceptional talent all for twelve dollars and fifty cents! I still can't believe it. Go see Damien. Fly, drive whatever you gotta do. Check this out before it gets too big and less intimate b/c it's gonna be huge.
