James McMurtry & The Heartless Bastards Friday Feb. 3, 2006 Liquid Lounge Dancehall 148 West St. - downtown Reno, NV - 8pm doors 9pm show - |
All the gripes of the venue
aside, James and The Bastards said it was the most fun they'd had on
this tour...they loved the crowd and chugged out a seriously rich two
hour set. And NO, 1moe will never do a show in that venue again! It was that or cancel. All in all, we're halfway glad we did it. |

Two
Nervous Wrecks... DADDY The Duo Show with Will Kimbrough & Tommy Womack Thursday Feb. 9 |
 Pure fun with great lyrics and Will's killer guitar work. Todd's Snider's sit-in for a few songs really lit things up. And Reno, as usual, 'stayed away in droves'. |

The John Cowan Band Hacienda Thursday Feb. 16 |
This was flat the best instrumental ensemble with the best vocals I have seen in years. Searing leads on fiddle, guitar, mando & banjo...and Cow's vocals...just outta this world! What a great, great band! I'm starting to see an inverse ratio between the quality of a band and the crowd size. Not a good trend for poor little Reno... again swirling closer to that 'cultural desert' it used to be. |

Mary Gauthier Thursday Feb. 23 |
Absolutely one of the richest nights of original music in recent times. Mary and the Hacienda fit like a glove and everybody seemed bowled over by her talent and soul. Yeah man... |

SINGER
SONGWRITER Paul Sprawl & FLECKTONE HARMONICA WIZARD Howard Levy Thursday April 13 5:30-doors 8pm show |
A FREE show in a market of 300,000 people and only a dozen or so could be bothered to show up to see this world-class songwriter and his absolute Wizard harmonica/piano compadre. No radio, no print, no people. The whole town could care less. What a statement... |

David Wilcox with Seth Horan Thursday April 27 |
An evening of pure Wilcox craftsmanship. Upbeat, classy. What a pro. Rave feedback on Seth Horan. Another Hacienda fades into the 1moe history books. |

Robert "Baba" O'Lear mid-20th century - May 31, 2006 The great voice and mind of our brother is now truly silent. May his spirit ROAR on! Master of the now extinct art of pure free-form radio, this great spirit will be missed by all who knew & loved him. Some $1600.00 was contributed! This was all passed on to Ann O'Lear along with all your nice notes...THANK YOU! Thanks
to all who showed up, donated, helped out and listened in.

Todd Snider Keith Sykes Hawkins Amphitheater June 17 $30/$25 |
Todd was in prime form with lots of stories and tons of pure Toddness. Brother Keith Sykes blew in a totally solid, understated set and the near capacity crowd slurped it all up in the near-perfect night air. A gorgeous season opener! |
||
  
|
"Party Gras" with Sonny Landreth Meters Guitarist Leo Nocentelli Red Beans & Rice Hawkins Amphitheater June 24 $30/$25 |
As predicted, just another KILLER show with low attendance. Well, like Elvin sez..."it's the squares that stayed home..."! Seriously, Leo's tunes and persona just funked the place up like Hawkins has never been funked before. Sonny is just the single-most artistic power guitarist to come out of the Bayou in decades. Add some great Red Beans and Rice...and YEAH!... Bon Temps Roulet! |

"The
Fourth, Flags & Ricky Skaggs!"
Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder July 4 $50/$45 |
This was the purest night of music 1moe has ever produced on the Hawkins stage. Perfect solos, perfect harmonies, perfect vocals and perfect gentlemen. PERFECT WOW! It's hard to grasp how many 'music lovers' weren't at this show. Again, a spooky indicator that there is an inverse relationship in talent to crowd size. Cowboy fiddler 16 year old Dillon Flournoy wowed the audience on this Fourth with some super-clean renditions of the Star Spangled Banner, some cowboy waltzes and left the crowd standing and singing "God Bless America". |
||
   |
Superstarzz: Craig Chaquico Warren Hill Ray Parker Jr. July 8 $50/$45 |
Just good, smooth vibes all around. No egos, all smiles and GREAT musicianship. A perfect Summer Hawkins evening. |
||
 |
Greg Brown Jason Wilber July 9 $40/$35 |
Everybody's talkin' about Jason Wilber on this one. One of the many reasons we at 1moe press on for 'opening acts'. Every headliner was an opening act at some point. Greg: sublime. |
||
 |
Bruce Hornsby and The Noisemakers July 12 $60/$50 |
If you weren't there, catch his last DVD. That's as close as you'll come to the experience the capacity crowd enjoyed this night. Nothing normal here, just pure Hornsby. To those of us who had not seen him live before, he made it clear why the heaviest of heavy musicians respect what this guy does. |
||
  |
Kris Kristofferson with Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines July 16 $50/$45 |
Veteran session-man and record producer Lloyd Maines put it best sidestage during Kris' sound check that afternoon; "There's big-ego rock stars out there that ain't worthy of carryin' this guy's guitar...". Hear-ye! Terri Hendrix & Lloyd set the evening's tones with Terri's unsinkable spirit and charm. Wow, another night of sweetness at Hawkins! |
||
  |
Rodney Crowell and The Outsiders Shawn Colvin August 5 $40/$35 |
Shawn's voice and songs just seemed to lilt away in to the crickety-chirping night air segueing beautifully into Rodney's fun-filled Rock & Roll version of American music. |
||
 |
Randy Newman August 13 $60/$50 |
Simply one of the greatest songwriters of our time. A killer, killer concert with one of the top gentlemen in the biz. Hawkins just gleamed for this one. |
||
  |
Big
Head Todd & The Monsters --- Toad The Wet Sprocket August 18 $60/$50 |
WOW! What a great double-bill! Many Hawkinszers now Todd fans. |
||
  |
Dave
Alvin & The Guilty Men --- James McMurtry & The Heartless Bastards August 19 $40/$35 |
Crunchy craftsmanship and wordsmithing from the Bastards. Pure, future-vintage California Rock & Roll from the King of California. |
||
  |
"3rd Annual Island Day" featuring Raiatea Helm with special guest Sonny Lim also Island Passion August 26 $25/$20 |
Every year, Island Day sports the greatest spirits and nicest people to be had. For those who have never been, you're missing some of the best flat-out pickin' and musicianship of any Hawkins shows. The music this year was stunningly beautiful. Rai's voice and spirit just captured beauty itself. |
||
 |
"The Clarke-Duke Project" Stanley Clarke George Duke September 9 $60/$50 |
Well, this was just one of the best bass
players in the world with one the most stylistic, inventive and
versatile keyboard players ever. Add a small monster on drums and
WOW! Jazz, Funk, R&B, Afro-Cuban, straight ahead Rock &
Roll, they played it.
|
||
S.C.O.T.S. |
Southern Culture On The Skids with The Paybacks Great Basin Brewery September 16 & 17, 2006 $25 |
Hey baby, mind if I get that quarter from underneath your pointed boot? Rick, Mary, Dave...we love you! |
||
 |
The last 1moe show of the fifth Hawkins season: The Blasters September 23 $20/$17.50 |
If 1moe ever throws a party,
this is the band. Just the best damn Pure American Rock &
Roll band we've seen in many years. WoW! What songs, what a voice, what pure believablity! That's it for 2005. A sincere thanks to all who came and supported our shows in the best darn little amphitheater in the West! See you in ought seven and stay tuned to 1moeradio.com for downloads of Hawkins shows and more! {;-)} |
