Our opener this week, Lilyphone, is a fresh group from Denmark with a folky sound. They have some business ties to Nashville, so maybe we'll be seeing them around some. They're just starting to get their name established here in the U.S. They came by the Lightning 100 office to play a private lunchtime set for us earlier in the week and were impressive, so I was already somewhat familiar with them and looking forward to the broadcast. Lead singer Marie Keis Uhre is lovely, has a beautiful voice and an infectious smile. She looks like she's always having a good time and it rubs off on the audience. They won some new fans with this show. The other members are Thomas Bang on bass, Thomas Stern Hansen on drums and Jakob Thomhav on guitar and all the guys add harmony vocals. The setlist was:
Rosie
Please Baby Please
Baby Makes It Burn
Twinkling Of An Eye
All Because Of You
One For The Road
Watching You*
Susie Why Do You Do Me Wrong
You
Natural Born Heartbreaker
Ex-Blue Merle frontman Luke Reynolds returned to Nashville Sunday Night to perform under the name of Pictures and Sound, which is basically just a name he's chosen to use as a solo artist. I don't think there's a set "band," at least not yet, and in fact for this show, none of the sidemen listed on the record were present. Instead, Luke utilized Nashvillians James Haggerty on bass and Marc Pisapia on drums - the rhythym section of Joe, Marc's Brother. Luke's old Blue Merle bandmate Beau Stapleton was spotted in the audience, but any hope for a semi-reunion on stage didn't come to pass. Beau didn't bring his mandolin, he was just hanging out enjoying the show. Pictures and Sound did perform a mandolin-less version of Blue Merle's big hit "Burning In The Sun," which was interesting, but not quite the same without Beau's stellar mandolin playing which we're accustomed to on that song. The setlist:
The Last Ocean
Burning In The Sun
Forever To Reach
Everything Leaves A Mark*
Big Screen
It's You*
100 Different Directions
Every War
Space Between The Lines
The Youth
Also spotted in the audience on this night was David Mead, who was our guest on the show just three weeks earlier.
