The Grand Stafford Theater kicked off March with a bang as Dollie Barnes, The Cover Letter and Wiretree took the stage for Free First Friday. Each band brought their own unique presence, but all were equally engaging, artful and loved by the crowd.
Dollie Barnes and her band of talented musicians were the first performers of the night. Hailing from Houston Texas, Dollie puts on a show that integrated pop vocals with a 60’s vibe, producing a memorable sound and performance. Her endearing demeanor and distinctive voice truly captivated everyone in the room from beginning to end.
Next up was The Cover Letter, and they did not disappoint. Their charisma was one-of-a-kind, and the crowd really responded to their powerful energy. In perfect harmony, the Austin-based band performed hits like “Paris (Texas)” and “Her Eyes, The Ocean,” and was even joined by an admiring crowd who knew many of the words.
Ending the night was the ever so talented, Wiretree. This Indie-rock four piece from Austin, Texas delivers a flawless show with lyrics that truly capture and move the crowd. One First Friday go-er described their presence on stage as “second nature and incredibly genuine,” which I’m sure everyone in the audience would readily agree with.
It was certainly a night to remember full of talent, fantastic refreshments from the bar and even better company. Thank you to all who were able to attend the show; we hope you had a wonderful time.
