Eliza Gilkyson et al

Another nice show at The Palms last night - Eliza Gilkyson performed with an opening act by Hayes Carll. Eliza played to a packed house and was very ably assisted by the very excellent Nina Gerber (one of my favorite guitarists). The opener, Hayes Carll, a Houstonian would you believe, was talented and amusing and just all round enjoyable - I would recommend him to anyone.

I have both of Hayes Carll's CDs and really like his stuff. Come on - despite our mutual love/hate relationship with Houston, Steve, there ARE some really good singer/songwriters from there! Carll was on Jools Holland's show over here a few weeks ago; sadly, though, it wasn't an especially engaging performance. Bob Harris plays him quite a lot, both on his Thursday night "country" programme and his longer Saturday night show.

I must admit that I don't know much about Nina Gerber, though, so I'll have to do something about that.
