I didn’t know quite what to expect from the Richmond, Va.-based rock band Avers on opening night of the 5th annual Savannah Stopover, but I was really impressed by how tight and talented the 6-piece was. I’d check them out again in a heartbeat.
This was the first year that Stopover used Wild Wing Cafe in City Market as a venue. The stage feels a little high for the space, but the sound was solid and the lighting better than most of the other venues. And Wild Wing is right there — practically across the street from The Jinx.
Live, Avers sounded even sharper and faster than this excellent recording:
I took pics, of course:
