Videos / Live Actions: Reviews Live: The Morning After finds unlikely pop success
Posted by Dan Schram @danschram on Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 5:58 PM
Turning to Jac Cain as The Morning After stepped off stage Friday night at The Pour House, I asked him for his impressions of the group: "You know," said the longtime sound engineer, "on paper it shouldn't work. But the thing is, it does."
On paper, The Morning After has all the traditional elements of a bluegrass band, plus a soul singer and drummer. What The Morning After has created is a good-time, pop-and-soul band backed with the sort of solid instrumentation that allows lead singer Rachel Koontz to let loose vocally.
Below, check two clips from Friday's performance.
"Where We'll Begin"
"Headlines"
