They are Elmwood Band and they filled our heads with catchy lyrics, complex songwriting, monstrous and complex drum parts. With only 35 minutes allotted to them, and a setlist of 6 songs, there was little time for them to stretch their wings, which was unfortunate. A later conversation with the band revealed they are living out a dream. When they decided to put a full band together they placed an ad on Craigslist and found Donnie Marple, age 21 drums and Derek Haight, the elder band member at 27 saxophone.
It's interesting to note that Haight has played all over the world as a working musician, while Marple is the Guitar Center Drum Off Champion. Not a bad resume to bring to the table. They may be young but they are musicians' musicians, each being equally and technically proficient at what they do. While this four piece has been together as a band for only 6 months, have signed with a major booking agency already, and were soon thrown into the support role for Tea Leaf Green.
A CD is forthcoming. After the scorching set from Elmwood, Tea Leaf Green took the stage amidst some of the most artistic lighting Charlotte has seen. Their loyal fans greeted them at deafening levels and the band returned the love opening with "The Garden III " then "Rapture," followed by a solid first set of old songs and new that included "Cops Took My Weed," "Baseball," "Hanging From A Tree," and a very spacey "Innocence" that at times had concertgoers banging their heads while trying to dance a dangerous process for those in the balcony.
