Come Back Alice Make a Weekend Northeast Run
Florida rockers Come Back Alice, mainstays on the concert and festival scene in the Southeast, hit the Northeast this weekend for three shows.
Come Back Alice are fronted by Tony Tyler and Dani Jaye. Tyler plays guitar and keyboards (and occasionally drums), while Jaye plays violin and guitar. Both of them sing.
They knocked us out at Orange Blossom Jamboree, the annual Florida funk and jam showcase:
As amazing as Come Back Alice has been since we first heard them half a dozen years ago, this latest reinvention is even more powerful that what we remembered even at Hometeam New Year’s Rally. This was epic. “Shadows” was a shitkicker romp, and they never took their collective foot off the gas. There seemed to be a hard-rockin’ edge to everything (and that was a very good thing).
“Loneliness” was excellent, followed by “Ugly Rumors,” with Tommy Shugart on organ and Tony Tyler grabbing his guitar slide. Even “Can’t Find My Way Home” showed great power, especially in Tyler’s vocals. At several points, amazing flames of sparks shot up from half a dozen pots in front of the stage. THAT was exciting! So was Dani Jaye on violin (fiddle, whatever). And Sean Hartley and Brad Elliott propelled the set forward on bass and drums.
Thursday, CBA will hit Gypsy Sally’s in Georgetown. They play New York City Friday the 13th at Arleans Grocery, and Saturday they will be part of the Wormtown Music Festival.
