Rani Arbo, Jerry Douglas, Po' Girls

Saw Rani Arbo and band open for Jerry Douglas Saturday at the State Theatre in Ithaca. She was charming; sweet band, all singers, bluegrass, gospel. I love her voice. Jerry Douglas and his band -- oh so tight, such pros, instrumental bluegrass, reminded me of Mark O'Conner's sound (maybe Mark reminds others of Jerry's band.) Po' Girl, saw again, after seeing them 2x about 2 years ago, in Ithaca and Kingston, Ontario. Fun. Someone I know, Charles, described them as neo-old time. Yeah, a little garagey in a good way, lots of fun, excellent musicians, a great girl band with a boy drummer.
