Last night, on a chilly evening in Orange County, NY, Anders Osborne and Jonathan Sloane played their first stop in an intimate 8-city acoustic tour of City Winery locations this side of the Mississippi. The original City Winery location was established in 2008 by the Knitting Factory founder Michael Dorf in Hudson Square, NYC. After a handful more locations opened in cities around the country, the Montgomery location was opened in 2020 after a 2-year renovation of the 200-year-old, 60,000 sq ft textile mill into a fully functioning winery, tasting room, and 250-person performance venue with complementary outdoor grounds for the warmer months.
Jonathan Sloane started the evening off with a brief solo set of originals off his 2018 album “Alive and Well” and a well-received take on the Rolling Stones’ Loving Cup before Anders came out to join on the last song of his set, a fitting tribute to David Crosby with the “Déjà Vu” classic Almost Cut My Hair. Anders kept the crowd entertained with some witty banter while the duo got setup for their set as he showed a unique ability to immediately engage and connect with the audience around him. The setlist was comprised largely of songs from the most recent 10 years of music for a musician whose catalogue spans over 30-years, with an emphasis on tracks from the 2021 release “Orpheus and Mermaids”. The setlist included some amusing anecdotes about the origins of some of the songs, in addition to Fools Gold and Different Drum from “Flower Box” and Move Back to Mississippi and Lafayette from the 2016 album “Space Dust and Ocean Views”. After a standing ovation concluded Lafayette, the duo stayed on stage for one more and closed with the emotive Earthly Things from the aforementioned “Orpheus and Mermaids” that left the room standing in appreciation as the two walked off the stage.
In addition to the duo acoustic tour, Anders will also be performing at the Bacchus Bash during Mardi Gras, Hogs For the Cause with the Devon Allman Project in the Crescent City at the end of March, and a handful of NOLA Crawfish Festival/JazzFest appearances the first week of May.
