A few hundred of us got an early jump on WinterFest at last night’s WinterFringe event, which began downtown before teleporting to the Century Center.
Downtown, there were brief sets from Mosley Wotta, who delivered a solo spoken-word set, and Larry and His Flask, who did a totally un-amplified run through of half a dozen or so songs.

Video from Last Night’s Dawes Show at Silver Moon
Even though the show was only announced a week earlier, there was a great turn out at Silver Moon Brewery last night for LA-based folky-Americana rockers Dawes. The band treated the Tuesday night crowd to favorites from their most recent album Northern Hills, including “When My Time Comes” and “Love Is All I Am”. Better yet, the band performed songs from their upcoming album, which should be out this spring. New songs “Fire Away” and “Time Spent in Los Angeles” sounded awesome.
