'Three the Hard Way' @ Backyaad

Okay, so maybe not as dramatic as that headline suggests, but last Wednesday at backyaad on COnstant Spring Road saw three acts representing rock, reggae and other genres of their choosing (but mostly rock) with integrity and intensity.

headliner Tessanne lived up to the billing, with the finest performance I've seen from her to date (mark you, I hadn't seen her live all year); the band was super-tight and also there was a 'historic' onstage duet with sister Tammi.

Crimson heart Replica (with Catherine up front) delivered both subtlety and sizzle, and Gas Money pretty much left it all on the Backyaad stage with an uninhibtedly rocking set.
Sawandi laid down grooves as thick as three-day old pea soup in the intervals.

These are the moments that make my work worthwhile.
