It’s all Uphill - the band, that is
Adam Nixon, local guitar player/singer/harmonica player/bass player and probably player of other instruments as well, performed with his band Uphill at the downtown waterfront on Friday night. I must say, they were quite impressive. I’ve heard Nixon play with Out’n the Cold, so I knew he was good, but the man can definitely sing the blues. The band wowed the crowd with their version of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Little Lover Boy, some Lynyrd Skynyrd, some BB King and many other tunes. Nixon played a mean harmonica on a BB King tune and even coaxed the audience into singing along. The rest of the band - bass, drums and keyboards - all sounded like well-seasoned musicians, and very tight, as if they had been playing together for a while. They definitely have the southern rock/blues thing down. I’m looking forward to seeing more from these guys in the future. I think I’ve found my cover story for the month of August…
