A. Travis Reed, aka Renfro Jenkins, performed a Stevie Wonder cover during an open mike night at Transitions 658 on Sunday.
The Sound of Syracuse is alive and well at the new Transitions 658 venue on North Salina Street. We got wind about this joint from one of our friends, and was pleased to see and experience a cadre familiar local musicians letting their hair down and groove everything from Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo, Bob Marley, Erykah Badu, Toni Braxton, and even some H-Town last night.
There was also an open mike segment that included some original poetry that reminded us of the musicology served up at the old OnaJava’s Soul Food Sundays.
