The Walcotts with Runson Willis, CALICO the band and Ted Russell Kamp at the Bootleg Theater

Some cool Americana sounds hit the Bootleg last Monday. Runson Willis III opened the night with some Christian blues sounds. His girlfriend provided a nice paring with his music as she typed poetry on a 50s era typewriter during portions of his set. To add a little more authenticity to the set-up, she also had an old time coffee can next to the typewriter.

CALICO the band and Ted Russell Kamp joined forces for a double set. Comments of the set:

CALICO the band: This song is about the treacherous 405 freeway. It comes between you and the ones you love. It's a villain.

Ted Russell Kamp: This is the quickest change over you'll ever see.

The Walcotts closed out the night. They killed it with rock and roll jams. Special guests Honey Honey showed up, which was totally awesome since years have past since I last saw that band on stage.
