This was my third time to see James Intveld in concert and the verdict is in: he is getting better with age. I loved everything about his performance, from the quality of his voice, to his singing technique, to his well-balanced set list. And he's a good guitarist as well. Why he isn't better known in the musical world remains a mystery to me.
James opened his set with "Have Faith" and wrapped up the evening with "A Sinner's Prayer", two gorgeous numbers that bookended many other equally great songs that just kept coming and coming: "Perfect World" "Cryin' Over You", "All The Way From Memphis", "Somewhere Down The Road", "Your Lovin'", "Stringin' Me On", "Let's Get Started", "Walk With Me" and a few others, all of which are his compositions, I think.
Spotted in the audience was famed movie director Peter Bogdanovich, apparently a James Intveld fan. I'm sure he went home totally happy, just like everybody else who attended the show.
Brian Whelan, the evening's opening act, delivered a set that had moments, but sounded a bit monotonous to these ears - come to think of it, that is often the case when I see singer-songwriters for the first time.
