I was a bit curious to see an organ on the stage last night when I walked into the Bad Weather California soundcheck last night.  Curiosity gave way to excitement when I discovered that Aaron Collins has joined the lineup!  Aaron’s organ fills are a perfect complement to the band’s older material.  The additional instrumentation allows Bad Weather California to tread new musical ground on fresh tunes like “About This Time” and (still untitled?) Latin and African jams.

BWC continue their three-night residency with Akron/Family tonight (+ Widowers and Candy Claws) and tomorrow (+ Woodsman and Snake Rattle Rattle Snake), so come down and check out the new lineup!
