Last show I went to was a festival in the mizzou college town of Columbia. Saw mostly Americana country stuff like Jason Isbell, Mofro, John Prine, Trampled By Turtles, Roseanne Cash, Los Lobos, Hooten Hallers, Avett Brothers, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Betty Lavette, and others. John Prine was great, and despite not liking them generally The Avetts and American Mumford And Sons Trampled by Turtles were pretty good live.
But the real highlights were JJ Grey and Mofro, and of course Jason Isbell. I'm not even a huge fan of the music of JJ Grey, but as a performer and as a man and as an inspiration he's astounding. One of his monologues moved me to tears. Maybe I was just the right amount of alcoholized or maybe it was just perfect but I literally was emotionally moved by that show.
And Jason Isbell is just about the greatest thing. I just adore everything about his songs and music. And his show was just beautiful. He covered a lot from his 2013 masterpiece "Southeastern". And he covered earlier solo stuff and some choice selections from his Drive-By Truckers years. _________________ -Ryan
I recently went to a Foxygen concert, I was surprised by how energetic and flamboyant the show was considering much of their music laid back and flowery. The singer likes to throw himself on the floor a lot. _________________
So I just got back from seeing Gojira and Mastodon and holy fuck. Mastodon are intense as anything. I love metal and metal shows especially. _________________ Progressive Rock
Saw Todd Snider at an intimate little bar in Tomball, Tx last night. Seriously, if you like folk music and great entertainment you have to see him if you get the chance. It's hard to explain the dynamic of the show, he sat solo on a stool and played for about 2.5 hours, feeding off the crowd and his own rambling mind. Did a few covers of Texas legends (Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver) and he finished his encore with a completely unironic acoustic version of Free Bird. He said "see and yall didnt even have to ask me to play it." hes just a genuine, funny, guy and great performer. highly recommend. _________________
