June 20, 2009 - 7:30pm We'll sing our way through standard themes of awakening love and the passage of time, from South Pacific to Rent. We'll even swing through Avenue Q, Spamalot, and Jersey Boys as we touch on the upbeat and provocative themes of modern musicals. This is a tribute to the composers and lyricists who have brought social consciousness to Broadway to educate, enlighten, and entertain.

Last night, I caught Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkin at the Capitol Theater. As a fairly recent transplant to Olympia, I would like to see more action on the arts and music front, but this was a fantastic show from beginning to end.
» Thao with the Get Down Stay Down opened the show with a set culled mostly from the stellar album, "We Brave Bee Stings and All." Thao Nguyen has an aching and jerky vocal style reminiscent of early Cat Power. The trio of Thao, bassist Adam Thompson, and drummer Willis Thompson cruised through a breezy set of stripped down pop gems. The performance had a ramshackle, rockabilly quality, infectious and fun, complete with handclaps and an unexpected beat box interlude (She explains, "I learned it in middle school when I had no friends, and I really wanted them.") "Bag of Hammers" was a syncopated high note, and "Beat (Health, Life And Fire)" was an instant crowdpleaser, even for those presumably seeing her for the first time. After a short wait, Jonathan and Tommy step on stage with much fanfare. The reverent crowd hung on his every word. Jonathan has a disarming presence which calls to mind Andy Kaufman's comedy routines. He stared at members of the crowd for an uncomfortable length of time while mugging dramatically. He alternates between technically perfect guitar playing and purposely off kilter chords, an affectation I fell in love with, but it put me off at first. Halfway through the opener, "When We Refuse to Suffer," a clunker off his latest album, I was ready to back toward the door. Having seen him once before, I remembered a generous performer who had an instant rapport with the crowd. This seemed like a put-on, a test to see if people would eat it up. And they did. But once he blasted through three songs straight without stopping for applause, I realized this performance was another one to cherish.
