Concert Review: Naomi What?, Fortuning and Whitney Flinn

BY IAN HRABE

At any given moment there might have been 20 people inside the Jackpot, which seemed absolutely bizarre given that it was a Saturday night.

“You guys played great, despite the fact that this place is empty,” I told Fortuning guitarist Drew Gibson after he got off stage. He just shrugged and said he had a great time and that it didn’t really matter if anyone was there or not. “It really wasn’t any different than when we played to 500 people when we opened for Tilly and the Wall,” he said.

Each band shared that mentality, and it ended up being one of the best local shows I’d seen in a while.
