WILMINGTON — Though it was a gusty night for a concert, the show went on for The Brook and the Bluff, with opener Hotel Fiction, on April 12
Performing at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, the two bands brought the energy, according to photographer Tom Dorgan who captured photos of the show.
As the great pines swayed overhead, like the conductor that commands an orchestra, it’s as if The Brook and the Bluff arrived with the perfect soundtrack to nature’s theatrics,” he told PCD. “Dark tones harnessed the wind and crowd, and turned into whimsical energy that everything and everyone freely danced and flowed to. It was one those defining evenings at GLA on Friday, the magic of space and sound at its finest.”
The Brook and the Bluff — featuring band members Joseph Settine, Alec Bolton, John Canada and Fred Lankford — is known for blending indie sounds with yacht rock smoothness. They’ve put out four albums to date, including 2023’s “Bluebeard,” which is what they’re currently touring in support of.
Hotel Fiction, out of Athens, Georgia, perform indie, pop and rock and have scored growing recognition for their track “Astronaut Kids.” They opened the show.
