Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
PNE Amphitheatre, 2901 E. HastingsTearing at the Seams is a vivacious and inventive full-band record, with significant contributions from all eight members of The Night Sweats. These songs are grounded in old-school soul and R&B, but are far too urgent for the retro or revivalist tag. There are familiar elements of soul and garage rock, but also jazz and folk and country.
