All concert, part skit, with guest stars galore! (Where'd you go, Rocky?)
I couldn’t believe it when I first heard the announcement: David Wain? Ken Marino? Middle-aged dads? In a jam band? At Beachland Ballroom? On a Monday night? In September? These were some of my favorite things, so I quickly texted my buddy and told him that we needed to be there—pronto.
And then there was Kathryn Hahn—a true Hollywood star!—from just down the road in Cleveland Heights. She joined the band onstage in the first set for a stirring rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin’.” This was the big surprise of the night, and the crowd went nuts when she climbed out of the audience and joined the festivities.
Nonetheless, the music was solid. Don’t be fooled by the big celebrity names: The approach to the craft was earnest and ambitious. Wain and Marino were flanked by serious musicians like Frank Barrera , Sweet Teddy P, Jon Spurney, Jordan Katz and Henry Wain . For anyone who’s into Wain and Marino’s work, this was an absolute treat. I’d avoided YouTube videos of past performances so that I could go in blind; I had no idea what to expect, really. What we got was something much closer to a skit on The State than anything else, which, I’m assuming, is what most people in the audience wanted in the first place. Wain and Marino’s humor appeals to a very narrow band of weirdos, but those people tend to be devoted fans.
