The Mascara Tour

September 8th
Morgan Bracy
Treva Bloomquist
Roxie Randle
Rachel Pearl

The Mascara Tour hits Knoxville or Matt Morelock In Heaven. Four attractive young ladies with guitars (and snare drum and shakers) shared the Blue Plate stage taking the full hour. Morgan Bracy, Treva Bloomquist, Roxie Randle, and Rachel Pearl together comprise the Mascara Tour, songwriters pooling resources for a short East Tennessee, West North Carolina tour. My initial concern was to be able to sort out the voices in an hour, which I thought would be difficult in person and nearly impossible on the radio, but they did a credible job identifying and distinguishing themselves as individuals. They each sang three songs with Treva getting to close the show with a fourth. The show started with Matt blushing and gushing over the stage presence of the foursome. The interplay between musicans and the host was fluid and funny.

Morgan started the show with The Looking Glass, her best song and a strong opener.
Treva's best tune was, I Could Get Used To This, a sweet love song amidst a sea of break up songs, gentle and not so.
My favorite Roxie song was one of the not so gentle songs, You Don't Know A Thing About Love.
The highlight of the show was Rachel's Please Let Me Go, a song about talking her way out of a ticket.

It is hard to pick out favorites as there were no bad songs in the set. The girls put on a great show. It is quickly becoming my favorite show, not my favorite songs or favorite musicians, but as an hour of entertainment it is hard to beat.
