Indigenous at the Hopkins Center for the Arts

Blues band Indigenous broke up the work week with a show at the Hopkins Center for the Arts on Tuesday night. The show was part of Sue McLean & Associate's "Take Five Tuesdays" concert series, which will bring Colin Hay, Jeremy Messersmith and The Elders to Hopkins in the coming weeks.

Indigenous played a straightforward power blues rock show that -- given the stage's otherwise bare aesthetic -- really allowed the music to shine. Mato Nanji is as good a guitar player as any, and his performance stood out throught the evening. The band also seperated itself from traditional blues band by using percussion to add a bit of a tribal feel to the music.
