On Friday night, St. Paul & the Broken Bones did some soul-stirring while also searching inside of their own for an oiled up crowd at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, Florida.
In our review of the show, we described it like this:
Janeway was made to belt out soul-searching R&B ballads (“Brian Matter), muscular, working class love stories (“Like A Mighty River”) and gender-bending siren songs (“I’ll Be Your Woman”) with the fire of preacher at a tent revival. His stage antics are largely unrivaled in today’s live music landscape, and at one point he was completely draped in the floor rug. Shit, it looked like someone took a phone call on Janeway’s shoe during “Call Me” from the band’s 2014 breakout Half The City. The man’s attire — a floral suit, perfectly pressed pants and shoes that could make Liberace blush — looks like it remarkably natural.
