Robbie Fulks

Robbie was warm and appreciative even though the venue was less than capacity. He put on an amazing show featuring songs from the new record and during his ovation, he took requests from the audience to delight us with some older material. Robbie engaged the crowd and introduced his fiddler, Shad--truly acknowledging the contributions made by Shad's harmonizing and mad fiddle skills. It was a wonderful night. I am only sorry that so many residents did not come out last night. Truly their loss. His guitar fingerings what out of this world and his banjo playing was foot stomping, hand clapping fun. Thank you for taking the time to visit us in Spokane. A new, grateful fan.

Robbie and Redd are a hell of a pair, trading licks on a made-up-on-the-spot list of country standards, deep cuts, and some of each of their songs. It was basically like getting to sit with them on their porch if their porch was a basement bar.

The sound was great and the playing was exceptional. It is clear that they have spent a lot of time together, and truly enjoy it.

If you get a chance to see Robbie with Redd, do it. But don't expect to hear more than a handful of Robbie's tunes.
