Roman Candle (17)Albuquerque, Valentines Day 2009
Roman Candle, Albuquerque, Valentines Day 2009. Visit http://www.romancandlemusic.com and www.myspace.com/romancandle .
Roman Candle (Chapel Hill originally, but now mostly Nashville) is one group to get to know. Skip Matheny is the lead singer and writes their songs. The lyrics paint detailed pictures which capture intricate Scherenschnitte-like, slice-of-life vignettes with such precision. If you find a show within 300 miles its worth the drive and tickets. They opened at Cats Cradle 2/14/09 for friends The Old Ceremony (http://www.myspace.com/theoldceremony) who were releasing their 3rd cd, Walk on Thin Air. Especially for Valentines Day, what a sweetheart of a show! Packed house, and fans had to be turned away at the door.
