Briscoe is a neat little band - formed in part by two dudes who met at the same summer camp where I went approximately 3 million years ago. Some friends got together a big group of people to go check out this show, part of a multi-week residency that the band did at C-Boys this summer. We were legitimately the first people there, lined up outside of this little bar like we were Harry Styles fanboys lined up to get front row. Someone bought a six pack of beer from the 7-11 across the street, and we waited for the doors to open.
I had never been to C-Boys before, but it is a cool venue (just very tight!). The band was set up in the back corner, and some tables ran down the center of the room. I wish we would have had the forethought to snag one of the booths on the far wall, would have made for a nice watching experience, but we just stood in the middle like goobers.
Anyway, they played a nice (although too short) set of original and covers, with good backing and solid harmonies. For a band that I had never even heard mentioned before, it really was a refreshingly wonderful thing to go to a new place and hear a really solid band with a bunch of friends. Highly recommend the experience! I just saw that Briscoe will be playing Antone's in January of 2023, I think you should get tickets and give it a whirl.
