\"\"House concerts are alive and well in the Houston area in a big way.\u00a0 Lead by Kenny Pipes’ Almost Austin series,\u00a0 Heights Live Concerts, Piney Woods Performances, Conroe House Concerts, and the one Rose & I were attending this evening Side Door Sessions in Kingwood.\u00a0 This tucked in a neighborhood house easily holds up to\u00a040 people. Lay out of big kitchen to dining area to outdoor pool makes for comfort all the way around.\u00a0 Bathrooms had easy access as well.\u00a0 $20 all to the artist, BYOB, and THEY provided the grub!\u00a0 A mirage of dips\/snack food and desserts with headliner of delicious gumbo with a side addiction item of\u00a0a weiner wrapped in bacon variety. Those things should have\u00a0come with a warning label.\u00a0\u00a0 Delicious. Yvonne and CJ Frederick are the killer hosts and tonight their daughters Melissa and Amanda attended also.<\/p>\n

The artist was Colin Gilmore, the son of Jimmie Dale Gilmore and he brought Jared Hall along on accordian.\u00a0 CG definitely has some familiar sound in his voice of his daddy, but he is different. “Goodnight Lane” is his latest release in 2010 and it has been getting stellar reviews. His combination of sounds are edgy rock to Lubbock native country sounding mixed together.\u00a0 Hall’s accordian playing brought an intimate\u00a0side to an instrument like I’ve never seen. His imagination is driven by his organ\/keyboard mentality that was really a cool jamming element to the show.<\/p>\n

Ear catching tunes included “The You That I Knew”, “Good Nite Lane”, “As Blue Shadows Fall” a tune his dad does not play so he stole it, and “Everything is Slipping By the Minute”.\u00a0 The crowd was more than well behaved and enthusiastic throughout. “The Way We Are” had a Celtic feel to it which was neato.\u00a0 A Nick Lowe gem “You Made Me” and “We’re Growing Up Together” scored well also.\u00a0 At times I believe a microphone would of helped keep the interest level higher especially in the second set.\u00a0 Dude’s nasal type delivery got a bit quiet at times and a tad hard to stay with.\u00a0 All in all Colin is not his dad and that’s good. He’s his own style which is more pop hooks, good lyrics, and an overall straight forward approach to his songwriting and delivery. A nice sing along that revved the crowd was the 1956 tune “Green Door” which spoke about “a happy crowd” who “laugh a lot!”<\/p>\n

Sounds like an ample description of this worth while house gig for sure.\u00a0 Put it on your list and “like” these folks on Facebook while you’re at it…………..Peace and Good night.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
