Wild & Free @ Jimmie's Cornerstone 11.10.07

...so, we got a late start on the evening and completely missed Andrew & the Pretty Punchers. We also completely missed all the goings on at Oregon Express. For this, dear readers, apologize...however, we did roll into Jimmie's Cornerstone just as Wild & Free were taking the stage and the hordes were amassing around the stage area...



...hot on the heels of the release of their debut album, Andiamo, Wild & Free commanded the stage on this evening with a confidence and charm that radiated out through every singalong chorus and into the audience. With the venue packed nearly to capacity, the energy in the room was palpable and the band just seemed to feed off it more as the night wore on. With each successive number, the band and audience truly achieved that X-factor where each side drives the other to greater heights. Delivering some of the most infectious songs in Dayton at the moment, Wild & Free stands to become a major force in this town in the months to come....
