Here's a concert review/video footage from Creative Loafing editorial intern Katherine Clement:

Unplugged for the Holidays w/Burning Tree/Jacuzzi Fuzz/Indica, Sat., Dec. 22, Blueberry Patch, Gulfport

"Unplugged for the Holidays" was the kind of show you can’t walk away from without feeling good. Even if you didn’t like the music, your other senses were bombarded with sandalwood incense, all-natural soups and veggie-burgers (which were surprisingly good), Christmas lights, and varying forms of visual arts—including one artist next to the stage, painting, dancing, rotating the canvas and painting again.

Fortunately, it seemed like most of the crowd dug the event. The logs, couches, and vehicle-benches that surround the stage were full, which is a rare sight at the Blueberry Patch.

Going acoustic brought a new and different sound to each of the bands, which the fans appeared to appreciate.

During headliner Burning Tree's first song, the Patch was overwhelmingly loud. The open-air garden was full and the free keg was empty. People were screaming, yelling and laughing. The band struggled to bring them back at first, but by the time Roth broke into the chorus of “Lucky,” everyone’s eyes were back at the stage.

It reminded me of the scene in Coyote Ugly when Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) sings “One Way or Another” to calm the bar down.

The crowd quieted down again and the dancers were back by the stage.
