Paul Belbusti and Naomi Sommers at the Space

Paul Belbusti and Naomi Sommers at the Space - 9/6/06

The highlight of Paul's performance was his final song. It was really the only one where he appeared to care. It was a cover of an old bluegrass song. Otherwise, this was mostly a substandard performance. There was nobody there and slowly, over the course of his set, the room filled with geriatric mutants awaiting Naomi Sommers. It was probably the greatest collective number of years the Space has ever seen. It was good to hear Paul do a couple of new songs, though.
Check out the video, anyway. "Watch Out for the Angry Crow."


Naomi Sommers plays suburban '60s folk and bluegrass, rather than dirty mountain folk and bluegrass. It's pretty unchallenging, but she has a nice voice. Apparently she comes from a bluegrass family. The old folks seemed to like it.
