First, the band is a lot livelier than its MySpace and YouTube presence suggests. The musicians hopped between original songs like the stomping "Colorado" from their A Sky Underground EP to well-placed covers like Wilco's "Jesus, Etc." and an up-tempo "Angel From Montgomery." Their sound has a strain of ragtime or Dixieland jazz, particularly when singer Sarah Anderson blows her trumpet alongside trombonist Tyler Archuletta. The ladies – Anderson and sisters Esme and Genny Patterson – belted out the lyrics so joyously that by the encore, a cover of George Michael's "Faith" that morphed into Jackie Wilson's R&B classic "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," the show took on the feel of a soul revival, with the audience clapping hands in time. The cuvée was packed to every corner, and the crowd enveloped the band. Stunning to see so many people out on a snowy, cold night. Let's hope Paper Bird flies this way again soon.
