Greetings!
Sunday evening brought a sold out show to the Crocodile
Café. Who you may ask? Why David Duchovny!
Yes, the actor recorded an album and has another coming out
this spring. David was doing a short
music tour to promote one of the many loves in his life; music.
These shows are always interesting as everyone knows that
the cache' an actors name carries will always bring fans to a music gig. For me, I always choose to review the show as
a concert, "forgetting" what the artist is better known for (in this
case acting).
The show started off with a 30 minute set from a good friend
of David's - Keaton Simons. Keaton
played an opening set of melodic rock with a variety of influences - blues and
hip hop to name two. His set went over
well with the crowd with a round of applause once he was finished.
After a brief changeover, David Duchovny took the
stage. Backed by a five piece band,
David launched into, "3000", to get the night started. It was certainly clear by the ladies around
me in the audience that they were fixated on David. Not necessarily for his music but for
DAVID. There were many side
conversations about his acting work, his looks, and a variety of other
non-music topics.
His band was tight and sounded like a group of great session
musicians. David sang his heart out,
talked in-between the songs (usually about the origins of the next song), and
made a self-deprecating remark or two.
If you haven't heard David's music before, it's a mix of
rock, a little country, a little folk, and reflects a bit of old school artists
like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and even Leonard Cohen. He included a couple of cover tunes in his
set - ending with, "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies.
The crowd ate up everything the band could muster up for the
evening, especially when they donned the "pink p**** hats" made
famous by the Women's March of this year.
The sold out crowd had one heck of a time on Sunday
night. The truth was at the Crocodile
Café' (you knew I had to say it somewhere).
Cheers!
