Along with being one of the highlights on RMB's album, "Love and Love Lost" is even better in concert.
RMB will be focusing on showing off what is their self-proclaimed "best album yet" throughout the tour. This time around, they went into the studio with a different mindset.
"'One Fine Color' was recorded and mixed in 13 days. Our latest was more spread out over a year or so," said Montbleau. "All CDs are about the best versions of songs, not the single licks. The fans can get those in the concerts."
In the midst of their hectic fall tour schedule and their battle with money issues, RMB still made the decision to give a portion of the ticket sales to the Rex Foundation.
This non-profit charitable organization was founded by The Grateful Dead in 1983. It has since granted $8.2 million of support to over 1,000 individuals and organizations.
"We are as broke as we've ever been due to touring, but it's time that we start giving back," said Montbleau.
If you've never been to The Stone Church then make plans as soon as possible. The atmosphere is unlike anything you've ever experienced. Its quaint sense of style paired with a full bar and the hypnotic tunes of bands like RMB is something no one should miss.
At one point during the show, a gigantic dog was just strolling around the floor like it was nothing. The Stone Church is that kind of place.
"Patience on Friday" is evidence that RMB has evolved as a band and will continue to do so as their years roll on. Their chemistry is unmistakable and their "real people" attitude stands synonymous with their eclectic mix of soul, jazz and downright heartfelt lyrics.
