Bob and the Band make a cool noise live. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, a lot of rock & roll, a smidgen of folk and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop), and equal measures of joy and sadness and you’ve got a night to remember.
