Peter Sprague and Leonard Patton at the Serra Mesa Library 1/18/09
Peter Sprague and Leonard Patton played at my library yesterday afternoon. It's amazing to me that it's possible to see this type of music in a family friendly time and setting, although I do hope to catch them in a club setting at some point. There's only so much I can do to make a whisper-quiet library setting look like a stage.

I've mentioned before how the standard singer/songwriter fare bores me, but that's not at all what they do. Peter and Leonard play full compositions, thanks to guitar loops, effects, and seriously astonishing musicianship. I could only stay for a few songs before going on my way to band practice, but I could have easily sat through 2 sets of this in rapt attention.
