Set List
First Set: the first set is energetic and proceeds at a lively pace, tearing through the first four numbers. It doesn’t slow down much but gets more evenly paced until #8 (Washtowel). After that things get Serious. It lightens up some by song #13 (Easy Chair) before becoming Profound with #19 People Get Ready. We bring it down, notch by notch for the last Four numbers, in preparation for the Darker, more Mysterious 2nd Set.

Second Set: starts off energetic as well, and stays that way for the first ten numbers. However, the general disposition is notably more enigmatic. That’s because this is our Snake Doctor, Magic Roots and Mojo set. This is what we’re known for and we’re good at it. It gets deep, it gets mysterious, it can be a little sophisticated in places, but it is uniquely ours. Around song #12, it begins to lighten back up again before transitioning back to covers for the last two closing numbers.
