Man, what can you say about Caroline Rose ? She rocks. Really, Caroline Rose and band rock. There's no banjo/mandolin/violin to be considered folk, too much pedal steel to be punk, somewhere in between rockabilly and old school country, the gritty Vermont rocker doesn't seem to care where she fits. When describing the tip jar at the merch booth to the crowd, she said "if you don't like us, give us some money so we can go get real jobs." But seeing as her bandmates were all wearing Caroline's new "FUCK FEAR" t-shirts, I doubt she cares whether if the crowd approves too much. Fortunately, while opening for Pokey LaFarge on this tour, she's found a lot of new fans. World Cafe Live - Philadelphia was the 2nd night of tour, criss-crossing the east coast for Pokey and his "nice fans." The band impressed with their singles, jumping right into twanger "Blood On Your Bootheels" and steel heavy "Tightrope Walker.
