Sarah Blackwood is the singer of The Creepshow, but her solo act is nothing really like her band's psychobilly-without-the-fake-blood-sound or look. On her own (actually with her sweetie/backing one-man band Daniel Flamm), Blackwood is actually straightforward country, with a little bit of rock thrown in for good measure. Her love songs? Beautiful.

Donny Barnyard was booked to open the show, but when I showed up, I was pleasantly surprised to see a darned-near all-star backing band up on stage. Playing with Donny: Claire Reynolds on vocals and guitar, Colin Vance and Alanna Goldsmith on fiddle, Jake-o Wiegandt on guitar, Chuck Johnson on bass, Kevin Stach on guitar, and Paul DeMark on drums. I hope to catch this mish-mosh of local talent together again soon.
