Love. Politics. Kevin Devine.

Acoustics all around, Kevin Devine mastered the stage, playing a lengthy set of songs. He even did some songs "full band" version, with help from The Jealous Girlfriends (a fun, retro band from Brooklyn).

I wasn't expecting Dave Elkins, guitarist and lead singer of Mae to be there, so that was quite a pleasant surprise. I haven't ever gotten to see Mae play, but this was almost better because he sang their most popular songs acoustic style. He mentioned that his band would be coming to St. Pete to play, but their website says they are only playing at the House of Blues in Orlando and at The Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale.

Well, at least this show was quite the serenade.
