RAQ Live Volume 1 & 2 Review

Read the rest at Jambase.com

There is new-ish Vermont band that's hitting folk's radar lately, a guitar-led quartet with keys, bass and drums. Yes, the Phish comparisons abound. People out there are just waiting for that special band to come along and fill the void in their souls, and some believe RAQ could be this band.

It's far too easy for a truly great band like this to get overlooked in a sea of touring acts and behemoth festivals. Though relying on traditionally structured jams, RAQ breathes new life into the scene, while at the same time carrying the torch of tradition for bands that came before them. RAQ brings back the energy of just a few years ago, when there was less of a reliance on "crossover acts" to bring in huge crowds, when Trey Anastasio and Widespread Panic were the biggest headliners in the game.
