Though they remain inactive these days aside from an occasional show, The Slip remain one of my favorite acts to come out of New England in the 90’s.

It had been more than a year since I’d last seen Churchill, and they’ve come a long way since that Meadowlark show.  It would be unfair to compare the two performances (the former being a basement acoustic show, this being a full-band show in a theatre), but the Fox show definitely highlighted Churchill’s songwriting abilities, confidence, and stage presence.

Maybe it was the excellent on-stage sound at the Fox, or maybe it was the crowd energy…whatever the reasons, the Ian Cooke Band was on fire this night.

I was sifting through some of my older recordings yesterday and came across this gem, a Reed Foehl show from the Fox in 2002, with both Libby Kirkpatrick and Jen Hutman sharing vocal duties throughout the show.
