A day late with this...the Baseball Project's tour opener in Birmingham. 

I have tickets to see them in Chicago/Evanston later this month and can't wait!  How was the B-Ham show?

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - first time I've seen Bruce live since 1981!

Today there aren't as many artists whom I'm familar with.  I'm definitely going to check out Los Lobos and will hunt for some nice surprises.   

Nels sat in with Los Lobos for a few songs and pretty much burned the stage down.

How was Angel Olsen? I have a chance to see her soon.

What a great lineup! Both days.

 

 

 

I opted for Jason Isbell over Angel Olsen - one of my wife's conditions of our marriage is that we must see Jason Isbell whenever he is within 200 miles of us (which is fine with me)   My kids saw Angel Olson and said she was great - Margo Price came out and sang a couple of songs with her.  My favorite set so far was by Mdou Moctar.  In a word "incredible."

Anyone else heading to Ft. Adams this weekend for the Newport FF?  My wife (and me), four kids and their significant others are turning this into an immediate-family reunion.
