The Bridge - Hey Poky Way - thebridge2010-05-23t02.mp3

All right now. That's The Bridge playing "Hey Pokey Way". Kicking us off tonight we heard them play "Good Rhythm". The Bridge is from Baltimore, Maryland. This concert was recorded at the Maryland Half Marathon After Party at Timonium Fairgrounds Infield on May 23, 2010. As you can hear they played a great show.

Ok now, it's The Bridge live playing "Brother Don't. The Bridge was started by Cris Jacobs and Kenny Liner. Cris plays guitar and Kenny plays mandolin and percussion. They added saxophonist Patrick Rainey, bassist Dave Markowitz, drummer Mike Gambone and Mark Brown on keys.

Here's how they describe their sound.

"The Bridge is a unique rock band whose music combines elements of blues and roots, spiced with funk and soul."

I can hear all of that and more in their fantastic sound. I've got one more song from this great show tonight. Here's The Bridge doing "Easy Jane".
