The Record Bar

Review by ANDREW MILLER

Oftentimes, when a relatively unknown touring act headlines a bill that includes established local artists, a mass exodus occurs before the closing set. Belles singer Christopher Tolle, playing the good host, urged the crowd to stay. State Bird, they’re not a local band, so check out their merch table,” he instructed. After a pause, Tolle added “And buy the record, it’s on a local label. Do it or your scene will die!”
