California-based rock band Robert Jon & The Wreck are fast becoming firm favourites with UK audiences and rock radio. Their current tour had several dates sold-out prior to their arrival, and their return to KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, where they’d performed last May, saw them in fine form when they played their on 15th February.
Support on this tour has been by Meghan Parnell & Dave Barnes, from Canada’s Bywater Call – They’ll be touring the UK with their full seven-piece line-up in October. As taster, the audience gathered at Wolverhampton got to hear a collection of blues and folk/roots rock numbers taken from the band’s first two albums.
The five-man strong Robert Jon & The Wreck put in a lengthy set that included what have become set favourites, alongside some newer tracks.
The set featured: ‘Pain No More’, ‘Do You Remember’, ‘She’s A Fighter’, ‘Ride Into The Light’, ‘Waiting For Your Man’, ‘When I Die’, ‘Rescue Train’, ‘High Time’, ‘Gold’, ‘Who Can You Love’, ’Oh Miss Carolina’, ‘Shine A Light On Me Brother’, and ‘Cold Night’.
Encores were the epic ‘Last Light On The Highway’ Parts 1 and 2.
