Bluehouse at the Cactus

I had the grand opportunity to hear Bluehouse perform twice this week. First, we drove out to Kerrville to watch them in a house concert on Saturday evening. When they announced their US tour, that was the closest they were gonna get to Austin. I immediately signed up and made a reservation at a nearby hotel...then called Diane to see if she was game. Of course she was! Then, about 2 weeks ago, they added a Cactus gig to the tour on Monday night. Cool. Since they're from Australia, we don't get to see 'em play that often. So, when I get a chance, I jump at it. Both shows were fantastic. I took a few photos at the Cactus and thought I'd share some of 'em. Actually, most of 'em.

Singing "Do Right Woman" a cappella...

[Bluehouse]

Wow. Awesome. Truly. It's the last track on the One More Kiss cd. Hearing it in person can't be beat, though.

Bern...

Jacqui...

I'm sure she wasn't saying anything the least bit snarky.

Harmonizing...

[Bluehouse]

Bern broke a string and performed the fastest quick-change act in history. Jacqui took advantage of the downtime to complement the lovely brown water from Shiner...

And, then they picked up without missing a beat. Impressive.

Near the end of the show...

Check out their tour dates and go see them! You will not be disappointed.
