New Jersey native Nicole Atkins graced the stage of Maxwell's in Hoboken on Friday night, in support of her latest album, Mondo Amore. The show was sold out well in advance, and her powerful performance kept the packed room tight in her grasp from start to finish. During the set, Nicole was joined onstage by Michael and Whitney, members of Maryland's Cotton Jones Basket Ride who have been her supporting act on this tour.

Maybe it's because this feels a bit like a pleasant alt-country album being delivered by someone in one of their giant stage bunny costumes. I guess if you [...]
As the leader of whimsical folk/rock band Page France, Michael Nau crafted songs full of fairy tales and spiritual longings. Just as that band seemed on the verge of bigger things, on the heels of two rich, evocative albums ( Hello, Dear Wind & … and the Family Telephone ), they disbanded. Nau soon resurfaced with fellow Page France member Whitney McGraw and formed The Cotton Jones Basket Ride, which was thereafter trimmed to just Cotton Jones .
