THE BLUERUNNERS
Friday, April 1
Blue Moon Saloon
Doors: 10 p.m.
Their career-spanning catalogue of songs that have had such staying power. Rendered live, everything sounds astoundingly fresh as if it was just concocted yesterday. There’s a lot to appreciate here, whether it’s the telepathic jamming between guitarist Mark Meaux and steel guitarist Will Golden, a Meaux-penned line (“Most of my days I spend trying to make things rhyme”) or how their reverence for Chenier zydeco is a cornerstone of their rocking sound. The last several tracks (“Zordico,” “Bluco”) especially go on a hell-bent tear. If you think this is just your everyday, average music, think again.
