The weather was unseasonably cool at last Friday’s Northville Arts and Acts, but that did not deter George Bedard and the Kingpins from providing their own heat source. Against a backdrop of quaint local businesses and a dreary monochromatic sky (I’ve always wanted to write something like that!), the band brought both heat and color by playing two very polished sets. Several songs from the upcoming “Pickin’ Apart the Past” were highlighted and they sounded GREAT! The band sounds in top form for the CD release party on July 10.
The crowd was a varied mixture of adults, children, and……dogs! The Kingpins interacted with a group of children throughout the show. Bassist Randy Tessier even boldly offered a quarter to the kids, for the one who could dance the best! Ah, a heart of gold!
The highlight of the night had to be, and I’m a little hazy on this one, when the band played “I’m My Own Dog” from their first album, “Upside,” either for the dogs in attendance or by a special request from a partying group of canines. Regardless, a splendid time was had by all terrestrial life forms.
