Camp Counselor Nick Reviews Twiddle with Jaden Carlson Band in Fort Collins

Audio by Dan Russ The fact that they filled well over two hours time with just seven songs, should give you an idea about the scope of this bands jamming capabilities. Taking the classic four-member approach, Twiddle is all business. “Beehop” began as a frenetic jazz tune before it exploded into a heavy progressive rock jam. Fans rejoiced for “Carter Candlestick” that again featured some rapid-fire lyrics from Savoulidis. Eric Luba returned the favor sitting in on “Apples” which sounded a bit like a Dave Matthews tune on speed. They teased Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” during the beginning of “Latin Tang.” This song was a massive musical journey accentuated by Latin tones and reckless abandon. They invited Jaden back to the stage for the bombastic “Frankenfoote.” Twiddle continued on as Carlson exited the stage. They closed with “Be There.” They returned to encore with their driving ode to “Cabbage Face.” This band has it all, versatile vocals juxtaposed against impeccable musicianship makes Twiddle a contender. Seeing them live gives me hope for jam and jam fans alike. They certainly tour like a jam band having already announced their plans to return to The Centennial State in the spring. Twiddle is the great white hope of jam. Their conquest is imminent, wait and see.
