Hey All! So in a spat of good luck, I won a pair of tickets to see local band Hot Toddy from CBC yesterday, incidentally just about the first time I've ever won anything by chance. After dragging an accomplace into the last minute event (beggars can't be choosers) I was suprised by an intro curtesy of Ryan LeBlanc, who gave a solid proformance on his Butt box/guitar/banjo/harp SIMULTANIOUS method. Having never heard of this guy before, I have to say I was pretty blown away.
Hot Toddy came on second, and covered a lot of their classics in a long set. All the common fare for this band was discussed, and the usual shenanegans abounded. The secret to playing the harp apparently, is to "suck through the two hole". This advice had been shamelessly dispensed to elementary childeren earlier in the day, most of whom apparently "got it". Thom almost had to leave the stage in embarrassment.
Anyway, Class Act all the way. This was a thuroughly enjoyable evening, with highlights being their Shiack number (name anyone?) and the oncore acoustic "Woodpile". Fantastic group folks, check em out: http://www.hottoddytrio.com
