Live Concert Videos: Fences & Mansions (8.5.11)

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Justin

Fences

Before heading on to Chicago to perform at Lollapalooza, Chris Mansfield of Fences made a stop in Madison to try out the smaller stage of the High Noon Saloon on Friday, August 5.  In tow was Chris Browder, a.k.a Mansions, who has shared the stage with Fences for this tour throughout the Pacific Northwest and Midwest.  The stage, as well as the knack for writing a depressing song, is not the only thing that the two Chris’ share.  The two artists also each lend a song to a side of a new split 7″.

Enjoy these live vids from their recent Madison performance:

If you weren’t at the Barrymore Saturday night (12/05/09) you missed a phenomenal performance by Colbie Caillat and her guitarist/opener Justin Young.  Smiling constantly she seemed to enjoy herself as much as the fans did.  Colbie’s passion for the music shined through as she led the crowd in sing-alongs and explained lyric meanings.  It proved to be an entertaining kick off to the holiday season as she broke in to Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. This classic recording is part of a Special Olympics’ new CD, A Very Special Christmas 7.

Justin Young  -a fellow Hawaiian- mesmerized the crowd with his self-described “acoustic based, island influenced, soulful, pop music”.
