Schults is an interesting performer, a great singer with a velvety smooth voice and a look straight from the 1950s. No three-chord basher, he draws a deep, full sound from the Gretsch that fills the entire room. He draws a nice reaction from the crowd as he finishes. Usually drawn from among the regulars, this act gets a full half-hour to show off. Tonight's guest is another solid local songwriter, David Houston.
People begin to filter in, and the bar is filling up.
By this point, Houston manages to grab the crowd's attention with his tight songs about love and loss. The crowd really begins to eat it up, and the half-hour flies by. Upon finishing, Houston mentions that his CD is on sale over by Kevin's table. After a short break, the quality entertainment continues. A Bono-esque singer named Aaron comes on, his voice filled with range that Bono has never had.
