More Like First String...

The Second String Quintet rocked my world a little tonight. The fact that I've been deprived of the live music experience for a while had nothing to do with it. This local band is a perfect blend of folk, soul, and blues as well as original and covered songs. Their sound comes from a smooth blend of banjo, guitar, ukulele, keys, bass, harmonica and drums. The band features Esteban Aguila, Antonio Borrego III a.k.a Snap Jackson, Tony Avila, Nick Johnson, Justin Anderson, and Mike Klooser (who plays keyboard for the band, Smashmouth). They also just released their first self-titled album. They have some shows coming soon to the San Joaquin County that you won't want to miss.
