After an enormous set up which filled the entire stage with equipment Dan Auerbach and Hacienda, currently touring as his backing band, took the stage to an eager and adoring crowd. Opening up with a quiet vocal duet with Dante Schwebel, Auerbach alternated between standing front center at the mic and wandering away to pour out some wicked, blues soaked guitar solos. Had the guitar been missing I might have mistaken him for a drunk stumbling down the street instead of the talented musician he his. Synocpated drums, quick bass lines and a driving guitar—these guys play good old fashion rock’n roll with modern and bluesy sensibility. It’s a tribute to the skill and energy of Auerbach and Hacienda that I stayed engaged and rocking through the entire set (having been up for something like 48 something hours at this point) and I strongly recommend that you check them out if you have the chance.
