TOBIAS THE OWL - Gig Review from Ballard, WA! 6/7/17
Tobias The Owl
@ The Tractor
Tavern
June 7, 2017
Ballard, WA
Greetings!
On a pleasant Wednesday evening, the Tractor was sporting a
local lineup – with the special guest slot being Tobias The Owl.
I’ve covered Tobias’ work for roughly six years now. From the early beginnings here in Seattle to
the current version that I saw play on Wednesday, it has been a joy to watch
the growth of Tobias The Owl.
Many times performing solo, tonight Tobias The Owl was
backed by a four piece band (percussion, bass, keys, and violin with backing
vocals as well from some members).
The Tractor was getting noisier as the set started. The stage side had a lot of local musicians
and friends from all of the bands in attendance. The bar side had the same but much more
talking and such.
“Every Eye Is A Universe” came out in late 2016 and has been
performing extraordinarily well. A few
tunes were played from it on Wednesday night – including the album opener, “The
Wind and The Echo”.
The band sounded good with decent lighting this time around
(compared to the last time I saw them in March). Songs such as, “Murmurs”, “Low Life”, “Sing
Me To Sleep”, and a personal favorite, “Inverse Seconds” were aired to much
appreciation by the audience.
I’ve already stated that I feel Tobias The Owl could go as
far as he wants to with his music. I can
hear it in commercials, films, etc. His
voice is rich with character as he weaves his tales of human relationships,
science, and other worldly topics.
Catch him this summer either solo or with his band – Tobias
The Owl never disappoints.
Cheers!
