10 YEARS, FINGER ELEVEN & EVAN STONE – Poughkeepsie NY

It was an acoustic night of Rock at the Chance Theatre in downtown Poughkeepsie with 10 Years, Finger Eleven and Evan Stone. It was a unique way to see and hear these bands break their songs down.

First up was the young but fierce Evans Stone. It was mainly him and his piano rocking out, and was joined by 10 Years drummer. Mayer, for a few songs. With the heavy piano and the energy he brought to the stage, Evan reminded me of a The Crash Kings just minus a few players. He was energetic and fun to watch. He is out in support of his latest album, “Detached and Casual.”

Next up was Finger Eleven. Their normal “plugged in” shows are so high octane, it was interesting to see them slow down a bit. Their set list still was very upbeat and they even threw in a few cover songs “Another Brink in the Wall” and Smashing Pumpkin’s “Today” to keep things rolling along.

Finger Eleven is out in support of their latest release, ” Five Crocked Lines.” They will be playing in Canada in Sept and Oct 2016! Watch for more dates to come.

Headlining the show was 10yrs. The acoustic set was more dark and moody than the other bands which generated a more serious set. They had a stage set up that made you feel as if you were sitting in a living room, watching the guys play in a relax atmosphere. This wasn’t the first time they did an acoustic run and I’d bet it’s not their last. It was a nice way to switch things up.

10years is currently out in support of their latest album “From Birth to Burial.” They will be hitting NJ and MD in October. Check their website for more dates to come.
