Got a nice taste of Eva Cappelli tonight.  Couple o' sets at Whiskerz Pub in Easthampton, in suppport of the Easthampton High School Baseball Boosters Club.  Coach Dominic Kutylowski opened and joined the Watershops band for a few numbers too.  It had been awhile since I'd seen Eva Cappelli with a full band, so this was a must for me.  The first thing I heard when I walked was real loud and powerful: "Timber I'm falling" thundered through the place as Joe Carvalho's guitar twanged and Jeff Turcotte's drums drove the whole thing along.  That's what you get with this band:  a lot of powerful singing and driving instrumentation.  Of course, when it's time to settle down and play nice, everybody's on board with that too- like the lovely Fleetwood Mac song they did later on (you don't see many covers in Eva's set-list.)  Doug Pit joined for a few songs as well; and I do believe what we have in the works here is the definitive "House of the Rising Sun."  Just wait till you hear Doug sing it with Joe's guitar building up and Jeff's powerful percussives holding it down.  And when they did "Got My Mojo Workin'" I could see that they have all been spending a lot of time together.  It's becoming a finely tuned operation, to insert Doug's set into the show at whatever point seems right that day.  This breaks it up and provides a spell of familiarity when a bar crowd needs it, as Doug's material is classic -truly CLASSIC- and he delivers it in a singularly old-timey, classic way.  After a break, Eva and the Watershops boys brought it home with a short set... just right!  Got 'em up dancin' and left 'em hungry for more!!!
