Considering that Crosby Loggins was nearly pinned up against a wall, signing autograph after autograph for a stretched-out line of new fans and yelling "we need more CDs up here," it's pretty safe to say that his band went over well at Fagan's Irish Pub on Saturday night.

Crosby Loggins, the young, lanky son of pop-rock legend Kenny Loggins, and his band, The Namedroppers, packed Fagan's and had the near-capacity crowd eating right from their guitar-pop playing hands.

"I love your dad, too," Loggins joked once in between songs, explaining how just about every show he gets someone running up to him and confessing their love for his father.

And most people, it seemed, were there because of young Crosby's last name. They wanted to see what Kenny's son could do. And they were pleased with what they saw.

Loggins and his five-piece band showed that they had the chops to fit right in with the current pop-rock landscape, channeling the likes of Maroon 5 and John Mayer. Of course, there was an obvious influence by Kenny Loggins.

"March on America" sounded like one of the elder Loggins' past soundtrack hits, while "Wanna Be You" sounded, admittedly, like a Maroon 5 song -- a darn good Maroon 5 song at that.

All comparisons aside, Loggins has a sweet voice and his band can play. That would be evident no matter what his last name is. But being a Loggins doesn't hurt.

The performance was a one-time Rogue show. For more info on him and the band, go to www.crosbyloggins.com or www.myspace.com/crosbyloggins.
