Lots of new faces at The Wormhole, btw, which could provide critical momentum for the club going forward.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived about halfway through Young Buffalo&#8217;s set: great rock and roll from an obviously talented trio who should gain a wide following on the road. <\/p>\n<p>Sonia Leigh and her stellar band were up next &#8212; soulful, sometimes bluesy rock with an edge of country ballads. The six members seemed incredibly cohesive and the mix was great. I didn&#8217;t realize until after they started that I had mentioned Leigh over a year ago in my column before a gig at Live Wire Music Hall &#8212; one of those quick previews I do without always being sure that I&#8217;ll get to the show. <\/p>\n<p>Leigh&#8217;s artful, emotional songs are often about passion and longing &#8212; and she plays even in the sadder ones with an aggressive, confident, sexy style. Great artist, great band, great show.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy a few pictures:<br \/>\n<!-- AsIAKiK408EG -->\r\n<!-- Cincopa WordPress plugin wp1.161: \/\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/wordpress-plugin.aspx -->\r\n<div id=\"cp_widget_AsIAKiK408EG_c933b09dcd38140fe5fdec48dae092d2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/runtime\/loading.gif?w=594\" style=\"border:0;\" alt=\"Cincopa WordPress plugin\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/* PLEASE CHANGE DEFAULT EXCERPT HANDLING TO CLEAN OR FULL (go to your Wordpress Dashboard\/Settings\/Cincopa Options ... *\/\r\n\/\/ cp_load_widget(\"AsIAKiK408EG\", \"cp_widget_AsIAKiK408EG_c933b09dcd38140fe5fdec48dae092d2\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A storm and some travel delays didn&#8217;t dampen (at least not figuratively) the first night of the Savannah Stopover.
