Nashville genre benders All Them Witches rolled into a sold out show at Denver’s Bluebird Theater on Thanksgiving eve, deep into their tour in support of ATW, their excellent fifth studio album. Jonathan Draper recently replaced longtime keyboardist Allan Van Cleeve, and contributed to ATW, but left the band in October. All Them Witches has continued on as a three piece, with Charles Michael Parks Jr. on bass and vocals, Ben McCleod on guitar, and Robby Staebler on drums. While I certainly missed that hammond in the mix, any concerns about how they would sound were immediately put to rest as the three piece powered through a thirteen song set that covered a wide swath of their catalog. Another unforgettable experience with this band.
