Nicole Vaughn and her Lovely BandThe finest way to follow up indie rock is with some indie folk, I say, and 6-piece powerhouse Golden Afternoon did just that. Opening with a sultry and slow version of Judy Garland’s “Get Happy,” the group grabbed the attention of everyone within earshot and refused to let go until the curtain closed. Lead vocalist Elizabeth Messick – who bore a striking resemblance to Zooey Deschanel – held nothing back as she sang; her voice has the versatility to seamlessly tackle jazz numbers, folk ballads, and a mind-blowing cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” Golden Afternoon was a welcome addition to the evening’s line up, and a tremendous hit with the crowd at their feet.
Finally, the evening wrapped up with a stellar performance by headliners Nicole Vaughn and Her Lovely Band. This indie-folk-Americana crew wowed the crowd with original tracks and covers alike, all with a fun and youthful flair.
