Great show by River aka Sarah Shook and their Disarmers, rescheduled from May after a COVID cancellation, with lots of classics plus a nice selection of songs from their new album "Nightroamer."

TV Eye is an excellent new-ish venue run by Todd-o-Phonic Todd Abramson, with terrific sound tempered only slightly by the fact that when you get close enough to the stage to get the best mix of instruments, the vocals are always a little low. I tried to counter this here by using cardioid mics instead of omnis and pointing them at the PA speakers, which didn't really do much, but fortunately iZotope RX's "music rebalance" feature took care of most of the issue. River's vocals are still a bit low for the first song or two, but it evens out after that.

Why are you still reading this when you could be listening to the recording? Or even better, buying any of their albums you don't already have, at https://sarahshookthedisarmers.bandcamp.com/? Buying tickets to their upcoming shows at https://www.disarmers.com/tour? Many, many good options here.
