John Oates and percussionist John Michel are accustomed to Colorado’s intense solar and excessive altitude. “We’re two native boys. We simply got here down from the mountain to play for ya,” he informed the Aspen Concepts Pageant viewers standing amongst the sage brushes that fill the meadow.
Oates and Michel have been enjoying collectively for greater than 20 years, which is clear on this easygoing, but steadfast efficiency. Although only a duo, their sound is filled with harmonies and rhythms that improve the songwriting.
However if you happen to’re anticipating to listen to an outdated Corridor & Oates hit, John Oates has some information for you: “Songwriters all the time need to play their new songs and the followers all the time need to hear the outdated songs. Nicely you are out of luck.” Really, it was a lucky alternative to listen to some pretty songs from Oates’ solo initiatives, together with one from a soon-to-be launched album.
