Nancy, Beth C., Penny and I went to MaGees Pub to see Joel Rafael Friday night.
Incidentally, Joel's daughter is a friend of Megan's. He lives in Fallbrook.
Joel Rafael has been writing and
performing since 1974 and over the past decades has released a stunning
collection of eight Americana albums, including a 2CD Woody Guthrie
collection with five Guthrie/Rafael co-writes. As a solo performer and
with his band, he opened shows throughout the southwestern United States
for artists including Crosby, Stills and Nash, Sheryl Crow, Laura Nyro,
Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, Iris DeMent, Emmylou Harris, and John Lee Hooker.
Joel Rafael- very enjoyable, but too short (not Joel- the performance!)
A Reggae band - very good
A classical guitarist- wonderful
It was a wonderful evening.
