Nordlund and The Fast Romantics - Raddison Courtyard Series - Jul 6

The show must go on! Due to possible inclement weather and much humidity the Courtyard series was moved to the ballroom in the Raddison.  Still a fun show! First thoughts: Nordlund = That Voice! Fast Romantics:  =  Fun and great stage presence! Below are the usual photos, videos and links.

Nordlund - Oshkosh

RJ Nordlund has such a bluesy gravely voice that will grab at your heart and tug especially in Times Were Hard.  The three brewers (beer that is) are self-described as a multi genre band but I will go with Americana with some outlaw country twinge thrown in. Due to the diverse crowd gathered I think they were a good choice as an opener for Fast Romantics. Look for them in Mile of Music.

Fast Romantics - Toronto, Ontario

I dare you to listen to this group and not want to tap your foot or nod your head along to the music. The lead singer's commanding stage presence swill not allow it. Sadly, I wasn't able to stay for the entire set due to dance class but I had reports of people dancing along to the music. Their alternative sound with some synth pop added fun that carry over to their You Tube videos, check them out through the link below.
