Regine opened tonight for Steve Conte & the Crazy Truth at Lola, a music club where she was a regular weekend dj when the venue
was known as Coney Island Baby.
Throughout her set, Regine showcased original, easy-flowing, melodic songs with
honest, homespun inflections of blues, folk, and rhythm and blues marinated in deep-rooted
rock and roll. Straddling between sweet and melancholy, her introspective
lyrics were thought-provoking and heartrending. Above all, her gentle delivery was
all heart and soul. Regine played a standard guitar, a four-string tenor
guitar, and harmonica, backed by guitarist Tony
Scherr, bassist Mark Plati, and
drummer G Wiz. The sparkling touch
of Charlie Giordano's accordion on
most songs and Michelle Casillas and
James Maddock's dual backing vocals
at the end of the set added extra polish to an inherently robust production. Regine
is a class act. She does not perform regularly on the club circuit, so her few
engagements must be sought and treasured.
