Date of concert: Saturday October 2, 2010
Lost in The Trees w/ opener The Loom put on quite an interesting show at the Iron Horse. Brooklyn- based folk-rock band The Loom opened with an energetic set of material. It was an excellent choice for an opener. They produced a very full sound and all of the members were very energetic and into the music. I'd like to seem them do a headlining show sometime. My personal favorite song of theirs was "The Middle Distance", which is available on their Myspace page to listen to. Special mention of member Sydney Price who is one of the most energetic people I've ever seen and has a beautiful voice as well.
Lost in The Trees is pure orchestral-folk pop awesomeness. Leader Ari Picker really has something new and exciting on his hands. This group definitely has the chance to go somewhere...Someone in the crowd shouted that and Picker responded with something to the effect of, "We're just going to Boston". They pull the audience in with their music which is so textured and impeccably performed that I'm still thinking about it. I think that the seven-member group will continue to grow and come up with even stronger material in the future.

I'd like to put a special note here about the sound at the Iron Horse. It's awesome. Not earbleedingly loud at all the times I've been there, and this show was particularly good sound-wise. It's nice to have a venue that books great acts and has nice sound as well. I plan to review the shows I've gone to earlier this year as well...it's my first year of concert-going. Hopefully I'll catch up with the beginning of the year by the end of it.
