PUEBLO, Colo.—The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke made their Pueblo debut at Venue 1925, on Oct. 17. They were the direct support, Randy Bennett and Black List Books were the opening acts. The Widowhood Effect was the headliner.
Britta Dodgen is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Brooke Dodgen provides harmonies, vocals and is the lead guitarist of The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke.
Brooke Dodgen began the recital by strumming her guitar, while Britta Dodgen spoke of “Sweet Anticipation”. She stated it was an original and how they wrote it for the military wives. She went onto say it was for the moment when their soldier returned home from their tours oversea and the moment they reconnect, when they find each other. During the chorus, Brooke Dodgen would assist Britta Dodgen with the vocals.
Prior to covering Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain?”, Britta Dodgen provided a history lesson about the song. She told the audience how the first radio disc jockey interpreted as air strikes during the Vietnam War. Then, she went onto say some other radio disc jockeys interpreted it as the anthem for social activism. She clarified it and said John Fogerty wrote it due to the tension in Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Before The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke covered Trace Adkin’s “No Thinkin’ Thing”, Britta Dodgen spoke of how they were born and raised in Fla. and how they were now transplanted in Denver. She spoke of the time they were hired to provide music in S.C. on a French chef’s cooking show, inside of a mansion and the food was catered to Adkin’s touring band mates.
Duffy’s “Mercy” soon followed, after The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke thanked the audience. During the song, she and Brooke Dodgen placed four fingers over their guitar strings and struck down with their picks. Brooke Dodgen raised her arm as high as she could and strummed, the sounds from both guitars echoed out of the monitors and throughout the venue.
“Waves of Emotion” brought an end to The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke concert. Britta Dodgen reminded they were from and where they currently resided. As she did so, she rested her arm on top of her guitar and in the curve of her guitar. She stated the inspiration behind the song was the Atlantic Ocean.
Paolo Nutini’s “Last Request”, “Edge Of Love” and Bonnie Tyler’s “It’s A Heartache” were also a part of The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke's set.
