Bootleg Theater: Henry Hall with Jack Symes and Monastereo

It was time to squeeze in one last 2019 residency. To do that, I headed off to the Bootleg Theater to catch Henry Hall's residency. With falsetto vocals, he gave a smooth jazz set. Also, strangely, his life was very familiar to the story line from the movie Hangover -- an ongoing joke.

Opening was Jack Symes and Monastereo. Jack Symes was in from New York. He did a solo singer-songwriter set. He was in town for a family wedding. His future in-laws were in the audience. Also, he had a huge fan who knew all his songs.

Monastereo opened the night with a stunning set. It took me until the end of the set to realize that the drummer/vocalist was Darren Weiss of PAPA. Then I immediately understood why I enjoyed the set so much. The sound was funky and included a cow bell for one song. Prior to the set, I over-heard Jack Symes mention to friends that Monastereo's sound was fantastic. It sure was.
