I first came across The Alright Maybes through Haley Reinhart. Haley's sister Angie is the lead singer of TAM.
I saw the band do a short set before a Haley show and another set at a fest, but recently sa them play their own full set at a venue north of Chicago.
At the fest, one of the highlights was drummer Julian Daniell taking the lead on Come and Get Your Love. He completely nailed it, echoing the origial, while making it his own. It was perfect. When Tony and i saw him this time, we had to tell him how impressed we were with that cover. He seemed a bit surprised that we complimented him and even asked for a photo. He was very nice and accommodating though.
We are now staunch TAM fans. They play a lot of late nights in Wrigleyville, which isn't ideal for us old guys. We remain on the lookout for future dates elsewhere.
