Outpost hosts Danielia Cotton and Indigenous.
Instead of rock-and-roll, Friday night’s Outpost event was all about rock-and-soul with the blues-rock band Indigenous and special guest Danielia Cotton, a New Jersey native.
Danielia Cotton is known for incorporating a variety of styles into her music, from rock to blues to jazz and R&B. She showcased it throughout her set. From the rocking opening “Deep Dark Love” to the closing track “Make You Move,” Cotton started out with a near full-on rock vibe, then gradually mellowed down to a more bluesy, R&B sound. The audience was not the least bit bored or disenchanted, especially with the tracks in between, such as “Night house Keeper,” “Let it Ride,” “Sideways” and “So Easy.”
Indigenous, whose set was mostly instrumental, kept the crowd entranced with their pulsating Carlos Santana-influenced guitar sounds. Despite the guitar amps being a bit too high and some of the song lyrics being slightly undecipherable, they still kept it as soulful and artistic as they do while recording in the studio. Some tracks they performed were “Blues From the Sky,” “Red House,” “Out of Nowhere” and “Rest of My Days.”
