Tapers notes: A couple months before this show, I had seen Heavy for the Hawk at the same venue. During that show, Rachel (lead singer) mentioned she was part of another band called Hazel Mood and they did more r&b/soul type covers, so I figured why not come to that show as well? The band was a 9 piece this night, including multiple horn instruments, which ended up saving part of the night. There was trouble right from the start with the vocals cutting out due to a power issue, but the horns were loud enough on their own that they could still be heard, so while they figured power issues out a few times, we were treated to some impromptu jams. About halfway through the set the power issues were figured out and it was smooth sailing from there.

Jim Lundeen has been playing local bookings since late 1982. His current band -The Roadhouse Blue band, has been developed from many versions of musicians (and band names) since that time. While continuing to lead and play with the Roadhouse Blue Band, Jim has adjusted to the booking needs of the metro area establishments and has played additional bookings as duos and as a solo performer. This has become an enjoyable change with new set lists, original material, and more interaction with the audiences.

**************************
Tapers notes: Not a great recording, there was lots of wind this night, and the sound was an issue right from the beginning of the show. You can hear Jim reference this throughout the night, it makes it a very unenven listen. Listening back to this after the show made me realize I need to get better wind protection for my mics, so I bought some "dead cat" windscreens, which hopefully should help prevent wind from being such an issue in future recordings.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Heavy for the Hawk is a six-piece band with members originating from New Jersey, Maine and here in Minnesota. Their collective musical interests run deep, and as such they bring a dynamic mix of music to their shows. You’ll hear anything from Indie Folk/Alt/Rock, Oldies, and Americana to moving renditions of Soul and R&B. Many of the band mates write their own music, so you’ll likely hear some originals as well. Heavy for the Hawk is always looking to include songs that are laid to the wayside by mainstream radio. They love dusting off nostalgic favorites that you’ve maybe forgotten about, and also mixing in some music from today’s talented songwriters too, making it a show anyone can enjoy. Featuring harmonies from their two vocalists (who happen to be a duo out in the real world too), they aim to bring the listener along with them as they move through songs. Come to a show, and you just might discover some new music to soothe your soul!

**************************
Tapers notes: I debated whether or not to post this show because of mixed results, but ultimately decided to because the first set turned out ok, and the band is really good, so I feel they deserved to be heard. That being said, this recording has a lot of warts in the second set. I was trying the omni caps on my mics for the first time just to compare against the cardiod ones, and I regretted it as soon as I listened back to the recording. The first set was actually pretty decent (the first minute has low sound as one of the speakers there wasn't working), but during the set break a group of 3 people decided to sit down right behind me and proceed to talk throughout the rest of the show. Omni's being what they are, it picked up all of it as well as the show. Definitely a learning experience, and I've put the omni's away at this point. Also, lots of noise from kids throughout the show, it felt like parents had just showed up with their kids and let them run wild for 3 hours. Also, you'll hear a harmonica in the second set for a song or two...this was not part of the band, someone in the crowd had brought one along and was playing. The guy was clearly smashed before the show even began, so I can't say I was surprised. All that being said, the band was great, my first time seeing them, and I look forward to seeing them in the future under better circumstances.
