SKIN & BONE Reviews

In the musical trenches, we divide musicians between civilians or soldiers, civilians come and go but soldiers are forever. Lifers, drawn into the big music and the big spirit, you can spot them if you look hard enough, they're often the quietest, the least celebrated (by the public at least but if you talk to those who know, then there's always a nod, "Soldiers"), but they started before you knew what anything ever was, and they've seen everything and been everywhere you've been and more, they've  played for everyone and will eternally do so, with the Mana growing bigger every round and the stories too, and that look in the eye that they can see through stuff you can't, and which also tells you that if no-one was there to hear or see them play they'd do it anyway, because it means so much.

I wanna get there one day, but Skin and Bone arrived at the station a long ways ahead, true players in their own right as individuals together it’s something else, grace and joy and smarts and fun and heart and the big right feelings. Long may they run, they are worth every ticket and every record they sell. And long may you run after them hoping for a t-shirt or maybe just one more song.

I'm a believer
