Jason Collett @ Richards on Richards

Saw Jason Collett on Monday night at Richards on Richards. We got to the show around 8:30pm expecting a 9pm start, only to find that there was maybe 25 people in the venue. So we watched the Canucks game while waiting for the opening band. Eventually Paso Mino took the stage and opened the show. They were ok but nothing really… took me. Anyway when Jason took the stage Paso Mino also acted as his backup band. As a backup band they were really tight.

Anyway after much hype around Jason Collett I finally got to see what all the fuss was about. It was an entertaining show, and a good performance despite obviously being sick and having a sore throat. Some of my highlights were Courage, Fire, and I’ll Bring The Sun. Of course the cowbell was also entertaining, and not to mention the dude in the crowd constantly yelling “More Cowbell!”, or even better the girl who after hearing Collett say he was sick, said “It doesn’t matter, I am too drunk to notice”. Good times at Richards and Richards on a Monday night.
