Keith Moody rocked the house at Fat Daddy’s Friday night to an initially small audience. As the night progressed, as tends to be the story at after hours bars, the guys drew in a crowd that built slowly over the course of just a few hours.

Those present were in for a treat. The band hails from Nashville and plays a unique style of rock ‘n’ roll, but their uniqueness lies in their professionalism and song quality.

Listening to the band play, you wouldn’t immediately think of them as an indie band - they sound like they’re at least ready for major exposure, even if it’s not with the aid of a big label. The band performed a mix of originals and covers interspersed with creative, interesting jams like they’ve been touring for 15 years together - and looking at their tour schedule, that may not be far from the truth. They understand pacing, and their set didn’t leave you bored for a second.
The band’s sound can be compared to Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, and Jason Isbell (of the Drive-by Truckers), however, Moody has no problem taking a step back and letting his band mates take the floor. His prowess on guitar doesn’t hide how in tune he is with his backing band.

My only lament was a lack of vocal harmonies, which would have put the finishing touch on a great summer show. Still, check these guys out if you get the chance.
