Saturday night, however, it was crammed full of GMA attendees for a night of showcases and, again, amazing Italian food. An outdoor tent held the concerts and the eating. Their three song mini-set was full of well practiced interaction, and very successful radio music. It reminded also why I find it so hard to listen to Christian Radio. The second act, The Darins, were a group of four sisters doing their best to be like Spice Girls or En Vogue.
Problem is, they are new and green, and came off rather tepid.
But the third act were the ones I was waiting for. Recently signed to Pamplin, Five O'Clock People brought three rough but beautiful acoustic songs to the stage before the party moved indoors. The Living Volume 2 comp, which they performed during their set. Two acoustic guitars, an upright acoustic bass, a violin and a tasty drummer make up this shimmering new band. Elefante's stuff was seriously good.
