Brian Fallon was a virtual jukebox when he performed at the Union Transfer in Philadelphia on April 27.
The Jersey-born and based singer/songwriter was touring in his new record,Sleepwalkers, in his Northeast stomping grounds, and pulled out cuts from every aspect of his career.
Along with his new songs, he also performed selections from his first solo record Painkillers. He broke out a number of songs from his The Horrible Crowes projects, in fact he kicked the entire set off with “Last Rites” from the band’s 2011 record, Elsie. He also dropped aversion of “Smoke” from his other group Molly and the Zombies. Of course, the newly reunited Gaslight Anthem was represented as well. During the encore, ‘The ’59 Sound,’ one of the bands signature tuns.
Fallon sprinkled in a couple of classic rock covers as well including Tom Waits’ ‘Downtown Train,’ Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right’ and Derek Dominos ‘Bell Bottom Blues.’
Nashville-based ATO Records artist Caitlin Rose opened the show up.
