Comments on: Review: Matt Duke, Tony Lucca, and Jay Nash at the Canal Room, NYC http://www.theroundtableonline.com/2009/09/review-matt-duke-tony-lucca-and-jay-nash-at-the-canal-room-nyc/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:00:04 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: SibelS http://www.theroundtableonline.com/2009/09/review-matt-duke-tony-lucca-and-jay-nash-at-the-canal-room-nyc/comment-page-1/#comment-390 SibelS Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:30:38 +0000 http://www.theroundtableonline.com/?p=1096#comment-390 I wasn't at the Canal Room but I did see the three of them perform a couple of nights before in Pittsburgh and I'm in total agreement with your comments about Matt Duke and Tony Lucca. Matt Duke has a refreshing voice and a unique sense of song writing. I've been following Tony Lucca's career for over eight years and I believe he is one of the most gifted artists of this generation. However I'm in total disagreement with your comments about Jay Nash's persona. The words you used to describe it like cocky and egomaniac are completely the opposite of my experience seeing Jay Nash perform. It was the first time I had seen him play too and he left me breathless. On stage I found him to be warm, sincere, charming and down to earth. His voice is beautiful and his songs are thoughtful and soulful. I haven't stopped listening to his CD since I got it last weekend. When the three of them sang Jay's song Slow Down I was stunned it was so beautiful. I hope these guys tour and perform together again. They've got something magical going on.

Wish we knew you were having technical issues, knowing that now put your actions into perspective. Last night your sound was great, vocally top-notch, it just seemed odd with the constant unplugging. Also it was a rough crowd, Canal Room crowds have a tendency to talk throughout sets. To this day, I don't understand why anyone would pay to see performers and then proceed to talk through their show. It baffles me, so it could not have been easy for all you guys on stage. It was frustrating just being in the audience around those persistent talkers. Now, also knowing the issues you were going through with the soundboard - I definitely think about your performance in a different light. Jay, thanks for taking the time stop by.

I'm not certain that it was audible in the front of house, but onstage, several times that night, there was uncontrollable feedback because of some switches that got bumped on the soundboard. It was pretty much the toughest time that I can remember having onstage with sound - so unplugging was the only thing that I could do to resolve the situation. I'm a little bummed to hear that it came across to the audience that it was a matter of ego or arrogance. All I wanted was to connect with the audience. At any rate, thanks for coming to the show and the insight and feedback. - jn It was less an issue of ego, arrogance or desire for the spotlight that made me decide to keep going unplugged.

Agree on all points. Nash's most redeeming quality was sharing the stage with the fellow tourmates, but when he wanted the spotlight, he went unplugged and a little arrogance came through. Sara Barielles was a great surprise - I wanted more! I need that "NYC" song. It was outstanding! Agree on all points.

I need that “NYC” song.

I've seen him 3 times and he never disappoints. He's so passionate and his vocals are just amazing! We need to get his name out there, he is definitely underappreciated!!
