 Treacherous and mischievous, Tim Foljahn’s collective clambers onto the stage of Galleria Toledo and—irreverent—breaks down walls, changes the walls’ colors, and relocates the furniture.

 The dirty and sweaty road of folk origins seems to have suddenly been taken, treacherously comes the searing and desecrating psychedelic encore, furious, mad, and disjointedly post-rock that closes the performance.

This review covers the live show of Chris Brokaw and Two Dollar Guitar at Galleria Toledo in Napoli. Brokaw's acoustic minimalist set contrasts with Two Dollar Guitar's raw, psychedelic post-rock jam. The performance was bold and experimental but sometimes marred by imperfect sound and mixing, leading to mixed audience reception. The show blends folk, punk, and experimental elements over an intense 60-minute session. Discover the raw energy and daring artistry of Chris Brokaw and Two Dollar Guitar’s live set in Napoli—explore the unique blend of folk, punk, and post-rock now!
