Licorice will be heading to Colorado this week, embarking on a small tour of the Rocky Mountain State before their June 5 appearance at the Telluride Jazz Festival. As a prelude to the tour, the New York based foursome played their first show at the Gramercy Theater, the largest room they've played in New York City. Chad Dinzes' keyboard rolls on "What's Your Status In London," David Lott's guitar riffs on "El Corazon Estalla" and Matt Epstein and Josh Bloom's intricate rhythms didn't get lost in the spacious environs. Rather, Licorice's music filled the room quite grandly, giving an indication that they're ready for the bigger rooms. The Gramercy set also featured the return of Sabriena Stone, who celebrated her birthday by belting out a sultry version of "Stormy Monday" and reteaming with Lott on a classic version of "Freeze."
