Chadwick Stokes, accompanied by Ark Life, had good vibrations flowing all night long on Nov. 10 at The Maintenance Shop.

The night began with Denver’s folk-rock act Ark Life taking the stage.

The group had plenty of upbeat and fun tracks that had the audience swaying back and forth.

The most compelling aspect of Ark Life was their excellent use of vocal harmonies from the three female members of the group who take responsibility of the guitar, bass guitar and keyboard.

After a 20 minute break Chadwick Stokes greeted the audience with the State Radio track, “Right Me Up”. Smiles were seen throughout the M-Shop during this feel good track.

After some brief words from frontman and Boston native Chad Urmston, the band was able to introduce the first of a few new songs off of the groups upcoming record entitled “Pine Needle Tea,” which featured a triumphant 6/8 feel.

Another State Radio cover followed with “Mr. Larkin,” a fan favorite, which was evident in the cheers from the audience as Urmston strummed the introduction.

A pair of Chadwick Stokes originals came after, “Ichabod and Abraham,” and “Black Bottle,” both appeared on the groups 2011 debut Simmerkane II. The real charm from these tracks came from Urmston giving some insight to the meanings of the songs before beginning each one.

Popular Dispatch track “Bang Bang,” brought the audience back into sing-along territory.

Another pair of original songs followed, both off of the groups upcoming album The Horse Comanche. “New Haven,” told a story of heartbreak between two friends and single “Our Lives Our Time,” featured a soaring chorus that got the audience dancing all around.

Dispatch song “Out Loud,” served as the penultimate track in the set, which was completed by fan favorite State Radio tune “Calling All Crows,” which featured plenty of shout-and-respond lines between the band and the audience.

Preceding the closing song, Urmston also gave some insight to his charitable foundation of the same name.

As the group left the stage, calls for one more song almost immediately began. The band gave in and closed the show with Dispatch track “Elias.”

“You asked for one more song. So were going to milk it for all its worth,” Urmston said.

Overall, something should be said about an artist that can make every person in the audience seem comfortable in their seats and Chadwick Stokes and Ark Life did just this.
