The Spring Standards

  1. Old Springs Pike is made up of James Cleare, Heather Robb, James Smith and John Gallagher, Jr. Their website says their act is not just a concert, but an event. I can’t even begin to describe the show. They had a unique setup – the mics were lined up in a straight line at the front of the stage. James Cleare was on the far left, rocking out on his guitar and harmonica. Heather was next on the keyboard/pianica/water bottles. Who knew empty plastic bottles could add so much to a song!? Also, props to her for rocking out on the pianica – reminded me of the pink pianica I used to have way back in the day. James Smith had the drums setup in front of him. It was really interesting to watch him play them standing. He also played the harmonica on one of the songs and guitar on another. John Gallagher, Jr. was on the far right and also played the guitar. He used the body of his guitar to carry the beat on a few songs as well. It was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever been to. EVER! These guys (and gal) are insanely talented. Their four-part harmonies blended into what I can only describe as a country-folk-rock-pop sound. They had some hilarious stories in between songs – praying mantis anyone? The music was great and there was so much energy on the stage. I think they were feeding off the audience’s energy and vice versa. By the end of the show, the house was going crazy. Everyone was on their feet and the band came out for a much deserved encore. After almost knocking over the mics, they closed the show and invited everyone to their show next month at the Zipper Theater.

      As awesome as The Spring Standards are, I sometimes miss Old Springs Pike. When they were less of a professional band...
