Regent benefit

We went to a show last night to benefit the Regent Theatre here in Arlington. It's owner is trying to bring live performance back to the old theater. We were there mostly because of Vance Gilbert, a new favorite, but the whole show was a lot of fun. This was the first time we've seen the other headliner, Deborah Henson-Conant. She plays the harp, but I'm not sure anyone else really plays it they way she does. Dancing around the stage wearing her electric body harp, she plays jazz-rock-whatever and sings. She's good, but you really have to see it for yourself. She and Vance together are eclectic times two, and a great combination. I only wish the show had been longer. Both now live in Arlington and played for free to help the theater get going. Let's hope it does; it's a great boost for the town.
