Fantastic. 8 to 10 song Beatles tribute at the end, almost as good as the Beatlemaniacs if they practice for another couple of years. Did I say we were impressed?

Love this band, and the crowd last night seemed to love them as well. I thought closing with that Beatles medley was a fantastic choice.
For some more insight, this band performed under the name "Mulch, Sweat and Shears" for more than a decade at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. They were themed as a group of landscapers, and would drive out into the park in a truck and perform. That's where a lot of the crowd interaction in their show comes from. And the Disney connection is also why they are top-notch musicians. Their run at the park ended last year.
I agree, the vocal mix was not good, hopefully the sound tech works on that for next time.
I'd encourage everyone to go out and see them as well.
