ALO: REVIEW & PICS






Written by Evan Levy, Photos by Doug Potoksky & Peggy Fusco

The first time I heard ALO was at Bonnaroo a few years back. They were one of the "baby bands" at that time, and few people knew them. I settled in for a set of amazing music that day in the fields in Tennessee and today at MJVI, I saw another great set by a band that has fully matured and is ready for their time in the spotlight. Bringing their signature blend of pop, rock, & folk to the crowd and kept everyone swaying to the laid back rhythms. After a great set of some new stuff as well as some classics from the guys - they put a contest to the audience to create a "label" for their music as people keep trying to come up with a definitive way of describing their sound (and aren't succeeding at it apparently). After a crowd pleasing "Barbeque", Jackie Greene was invited to perform one last song with the band - it was ALO's "Roses & Clover" complemented with a long harmonica solo by Jackie. Another great musical nugget was the guys doing a spirited version of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger".
This could be the big year for ALO to break out - their sound is tight and sure to please. Keep checking back all day for more coverage of MJVI.
