Live Review
The Readings at the Gaylord Texan Resort
The Readings at the Gaylord Texan Resort
I recently had the honor to work with two very talented young men,
Chris and Eric Reading,of
the band The
Readings, a four piece from Nashville at a reception for the Biolage
Road Show Tour for Matrix. Playing with all accoustic
instruments, the Readings gave a very entertaining evening of current
pop and country hits and some great old time pop standards along with
some of the their own tunes. The guests were entertained
with some of the Readings own versions of hits such as "Amie", "Wave on
Wave", "Won't Back Down" with the perfect Tom Petty inflection,"Running
to Stand Still" then, much to my suprise, a song off their on CD
dedicated to the sound man, me, "She Brings Me Down". Even though
Chris and I live in different states, we were able to connect through
this song about the innocence of our daughters bringing us back down to
Earth when life gets hectic. 
With the band's
harmonies and intricate guitar work, the banquet room rang of ballads
rock to roll by making for a perfect evening. Freshly out of the
studio the Readings are currently touring their newest release Everyday
Life. Some of their upcoming dates are April 14th in
Nashville and April 17th in Chicago. For more info
