| Scott McCord & The Bonafide Truth plays at Cadillac Lounge |
That's what happened to me, Thursday June 2nd at the Cadillac Lounge when I happened upon Scott McCord & The Bonafide Truth. A dear friend of mine called out of the blue and wanted to grab a bite and a chat. While savouring some cold beer, we discovered the sweet sounds of Scott McCord & T.B.T. With a funky flavour, Scott leads this band like the pied piper, and our feet followed. The magnificent 3-piece brass section is what caught our attention. Lately I have indulged in Treme, the HBO series, and have been yearning to get a taste of just this type of energy.
I couldn't leave, every time I stepped out, the music pulled me back in. I danced till the end with a merry bunch, soaking up the sound. There was a special flair in the air, as it was the final Thursday of the season for the band. We look forward to catching them often as a regular act at The Cadillac in the fall.
We've spoke to Scott at the end of his gig and at the Muhtadi International Drum Festival. They are playing around Toronto this summer, so keep your eyes peeled. Brassy funk like this is not easy to come by.
