Tea Leaf Green is a California Jam band that has been playing and touring for nearly two decades. Their show at Lincoln Hall sounded great as the sound was very tight and the band was directly in groove together and the sound engineer had the sound configured perfectly. It sounded like I was listing to a recording the instruments were so clearly placed and distinguishable throughout the stereo field.
Tea Leaf's touring partners The Tumbleweed Wanderers were an awesome opener. The Tumbleweed Wanderers have a very retro 60/70ish sound and dress the part as well with all four wearing curly afros and Spanish leather boots. One of the coolest things was during the middle of Tea Leaf's set the two bands came together acoustically to sing one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs - America. It was awesome.
The venue was great over all and the small and friendly the Tumbleweed Wanderers fit right in the environment hanging out at their booth meeting and greeting everyone and signing records after their set. The venue's prices were not as steep as I had predicted either so that was a nice surprise. The security were real chill too. The coolest security I've experienced in the city. The one thing I did not like was their coat check too refused watch bags like the Aaragon, but other than that it was an awesome venue.
Here are two videos. Roll with the Times by the Tumbleweed Wanderers and Nothing Changes by Tea Leaf Green.
