The show featured podcast the BS Podcast, aka Jason Bailey a radio personality that had spent close to 20 years in the Orlando at WJJR rock station, who has recently come back the Orlando area. The BS Podcast now a syndicated show and is featured on WJJR and they replay a condensed version on Saturdays, this being the fourth Podcast & Pours he wanted to book a national band, and Saliva came to mind as a great act to book for this event. In support Jason Bailey also brought along longtime friends of the show Distinct Grace, along with a special appearance by local Orlando artist Riley Resa.
The show kicked off with some podcast shenanigan’s hosted by none other than Jason Bailey of the BS Podcast, and also with long time show guest members of Distinct Grace, then Distinct Grace would open up the musical portion with some originals and some covers with an acoustic set, along with a special appearance from Riley Resa who would perform about 4-5 songs. The set would conclude, and the headliner would come out.
Saliva would take the stage to perform their acoustic set, for a band that does not do acoustic sets a lot, nor did they rehearse they killed it. With a mix of covers from Alice in Chains, Phil Collins and others, along with some of their hits and even a few rare songs that are not heard during live performances in a few years. Saliva even opened the show with an acoustic version of “ladies and Gentleman” mixed in a few other songs that you would not expect to hear acoustically but were glad you got a chance to, and few kick ass mashups. For not doing a lot of acoustic sets, Saliva kicked ass on this show, if you get the opportunity to catch Saliva perform an acoustic set don’t miss it.
