After a nice walk back from the cocktail party at Cravings, with plenty of time to have a smoke along the way (or two), kicking off the entertainment at the Viper Room is the man legendary Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones deemed "the best lyricist I have ever worked with," Andrew Paul Woodworth. Backed by a great band that included bass, sax, keys and drums, Woodworth, who occasionally chipped in on acoustic guitar himself, delivered an impassioned set that clearly inspired the rapidly increasing crowd as the show went on. His awe-inspiring vocal ability drew repeated shouts and whistles from an ecstatic audience hellbent on showing its appreciation. It was easy to see why Rodeostar Records in Germany jumped at the chance to sign him after Woodworth played at MUSEXPO in 2006! A nice moment toward the end, when Woodworth announced that his mother, visiting from Oregon, was in the crowd...and encouraged folks to buy her a shot or two.
Hey, feel free to hit up the blogger, too....
