Morning Noon Night

I didn’t get off work until mid­night last night, mean­ing I missed Taylor’s big gig, but I still made it to the Tran­zac after­wards for the lat­est OOTS pre­sen­ta­tion. Luck­ily that seemed to be where most peo­ple ended up after the Tim­ber Tim­bre show so I was still able to see some friends, which is key. I missed the first few acts (Chris Yang and Gavin Gar­diner) but got there just in time to see Guelph’s Richard Lavi­o­lette, whose quiet mas­ter­piece A Lit­tle Less Like a Rock, a Lit­tle More Like a Home was a favourite of mine a few years back, and who I last saw at Sap­pyFest about a year ago. How­ever, in stark con­trast to that show, yes­ter­day Richard was backed up by his new-ish band (well, it was the first time I’ve seen them) the Hol­low Hooves, who brought some wel­come mus­cle to his frag­ile sound­ing songs. It was a very dif­fer­ent per­for­mance than I’m used to him putting on, but I liked it all the same.

I ducked out after a few tunes to catch up with some friends out­side, but hope­fully it’s not another year before I see Richard again.
