Lauris Vidal likes the ukulele. He really does. And he makes it sing. Along with banjoes, lap steel guitars and other instruments from years past.
Vidal's multi-instrumentalist tendencies evokes a post-Raindogs Tom Waits, but with a tenor voice. Vidal's urgent, bluesy folk music is an original, crafted from years developing his craft in Florida clubs.
The Daytona-based Vidal leads the Citrus Circuit Tour which blows through South Florida this week. Joining Vidal will be Tampa's Have Gun Will Travel, who are generating some serious buzz on the state's west coast. Joining the bill is Lake Worth roots rockers Truckstop Coffee and Gainesville honky tonkers, The Takers.
I'll be catching them on Friday. I can not wait
