Scott here from SC. I just wanted to pass on some praise and recognition to Colby and the Three Of A Kind band who I saw this past weekend at the MAD Festival in Camden, SC. They did an AMAZING job !
I loved the song selection, tight musicianship and vocal range of Colby Dobbs. Once I heard the opening notes of Steely Dan’s Black Cow, I knew my wife & I were in for a treat.
