The up-and-coming group Isaac Hadden Organ Trio opened the night up, getting everyone in a dancing mood. The Trio is made up of Isaac Hadden on guitar & vocals, Bill Stevens on organ & vocals, and on this evening, Nick Baglio was in playing drums (normally Iajhi Hampden is on drums). They played many numbers from their debut album The Glue, which came out last year. Some tracks from this album that they played included "Magic", "Dynamite", "Hot Polutix", and "Always There".

Cool Cool Cool - Raleigh NC 3-6-2024

Cool Cool Cool brought their infectious grooves to the Lincoln Theater in Raleigh!

After the unexpected demise of one of my favorite funk bands in 2022, Turkuaz, I was like most of their fans, very disappointed.  Fortunately the majority of the former members didn't waste much time before conjuring up a plan to change course. Suddenly like a Phoenix, rising from the ashes of that fiery collapse, a new band was born that they collectively named Cool Cool Cool.   A fresh vision based off of their experiences on the road and the tight relationships that they formed touring together for over a decade.

If you're not already familiar with Daniel Donato, and his band Cosmic Country, you might want to get to know him.  The buzz around this 27 year old guitar player has been traveling around in Jamband circles for a few years.  He's built up a grassroots fan base, with his brand of music that he calls Cosmic Country.  Of course the ideas that are rolled into the descriptor "Cosmic Country' aren't really new.
