Hey Rosetta (Edge 102, June 27, 2011)
Being a Live @ The Edge event my expectations were tempered but the crowd of fifty or so down at Sugar Beach received a worthwhile performance. Without much ado, besides an on-air introduction Tim began strumming his guitar and the other five that round out Hey Rosetta broke in. It was a fully acoustic set that was unique from that aspect but reduced the extremes that HR work so well, from quiet to crashing. Young Glass and Welcome included cello and drums, the latter being brushed for the most part, with the rocking drum solo replaced by mambo to fit the small, acoustic feel. Tim's excellent voice stood out clearly from this backdrop. As an added bonus for those of us who trekked down after work they did a third tune off air, Bandages, with a pared down set of instruments. Although it felt more like a teaser than a show it was still well worth its while.
