The Wind and The Wave a band to keep an ear out for




I caught The Wind and The Wave opening for Jamestown Revival last Thursday at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.  I didn't know anything about this band and was pleasantly surprised.  An Austin based band with a nice mix of southern-soul-rock and country vibes.  I was most impressed by Patricia Lynn. I think this band has potential because of her amazing voice.

Their performance was a lot of fun and they played a nice variety of songs.   I think the lack of a drummer really hurt their sound and show to be honest.  They played with a taped drum track and it took away from their sound.  I wish they would've just played stripped down acoustic instead and just dumped the backing track.  They are good enough not to need it till they find a touring drummer.

Here's "My Mama Said Be Careful Where Lay Your Head" by The Wind and The Wave.  This is one infectious soulful tune and has me excited to hear a full album from them.  Just wanted to post this song and then the acoustic version.  I just want to say, I think they would be great on tour without the drum track.  You be the judge.


Here's the same song but acoustic.  Would you enjoy this song just as much without the drum track?  Check them out on tour with Jamestown Revival.  Patricia Lynn is talented and wish the band great success.
