Carl Christensen & the Local Flora Band – Conor Byrne Pub, Seattle – 27 January 2024
This was billed as Carl Christensen & the Local Flora Band “Second Crossover Episode”. The format called for a series of singer/songwriters (including Chistensen himself) to each perform a couple of numbers solo, and then a couple more backed by the full-on band. A great strategy for maximizing attendance at the pub, as well as my opportunity to experience a broader assortment of performers in a concentrated time/space. And talk about concentrated! I abandoned all hope of using any medium other than the most basic, a Sharpie. I no longer have the stamina for extended standing sessions amid a crowd, so I ducked after the first three acts.
