A Saturday evening benefit concert at Jay York’s Last Church on the Left featured a number of Transparent family musicians and friends. Three bands split the evening playing a variety of roots oriented material.
Dank Roadie Uberdrive started the evening, featuring Transparent’s Mike Dank playing a Danelectro Longhorn bass. John Robertson, a machinist who makes many of our custom parts, sang vocals and played guitar, mandolin and Dobro. The band, which bills itself as psychelic honkey tonk, covered some Joe Henry and Warren Zevon among others.

Gretchen and Doug of the duo Day for Night sang great classic country tunes, featuring sweet harmonies, guitars and mandolin. Louvin Brothers and Stanley Brothers tunes were among the performances.
The Small Orchestra played rural blues featuring Transparent’s Mike Dank on snare and Mark Cousins on drum kit for a little of the North Mississippi sound with Kevin Midgley on vocals and guitar. The band was rounded out with two harmonica players, and Jeff Trippe of the local group the Mutineers on mandolin and backup vocals.
The bands each played two sets. Demos Dadiotes provided photo documentation. Many thanks to Jay York for providing such a great venue.
