The Return!
The second Cutting Room show put on
by performers of the TSO East Coast
touring company was as big (if not bigger)
a success than the first! Here's our ever
fabulous Jen with her review:
On to the show. We arrived a little early
and ended up chatting with some people
from this board which was nice. After a
while, Joe C. came in and sat down with
us and we chatted and laughed some
more. It was very nice of him to spend so
much time with us. Thanks Joe!
The first performer up was Joe. C. Now, when Joe is performing, you
are guaranteed a quality performance no matter what. He's a depend-
ably good and solid performer. You know you're going to hear
wonderful songs with well thought out lyrics sung with a voice that is
powerful and filled with deep emotion. His songs were a little of every
style mixed with a whole heck of a lot of heart and passion. When Joe
sings, you don't just listen, you take it in and absorb it directly into your
soul. The stories told in the songs are moving and meaningful and his
voice is unique, amazing and a pleasure to listen to. I know, I'm corny
but I'm also sincere.
I dont' remember the order of the other performers so I'll just talk
about them in any old order. Sylvia Tosun has a stunning voice and a
poised stage presence. She broke into a little belly dance in the middle
of her set which was so cool to watch. Her songs are quite lovely and
striking.
TSO's resident angel, Dina Fanai did a wonderful set of her beautiful
songs. There is nothing left I can say about Dina that I haven't already
said. Thank you so much Dina for working so hard putting together
another amazing evening of incredible music for us.
I was blown away by American Trash. It was the first I had ever
heard or seen them perform. Steve Broderick was positively electric!
The songs are awesome and he sings them with such amazing energy.
Since I play guitar, I was mesmerized by the guitarist for American
Trash. His fingers were flying up and down that fretboard effortlessly. I
was so jealous! Chris Caffery jumped on stage for one number with the
band and that was just awesome! American Trash rocked!
Z02 was also on fire. The energy level they put out is just astrono-
mical. I love the songs and the enthusiasm with which they are
performed.
Alex Skolnick made his guitar speak volumes. What an amazing
guitarist! My favorite was Pinball Wizard.
The entire evening was fun and enjoyable. It was great talking to
fellow TSO fans and the performers who were so gracious with their
time. I can't wait for the next one!
