Magnetized Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have tickets for Hiss Golden Messenger tomorrow night. It's a local show and the tickets were cheap so I bought them on impulse but I'm wondering if any of you are familiar with them. I'll have a busy day and don't really want to waste my time on something I'm not likely to enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 yeah he's got some good records out. i really like the split w/ Steve Gunn (w/ the JJ Cale cover homage). this is a good tune (Nathan Bowles on banjo!):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhkSGkkf33M Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can't log onto VC from my phone for some reason, so I didn't get to post here over the weekend. Went to a great free festival in Tallahassee called Word of South. This was the first year it's been held, hoping it will be an annual event. Caught Canadian legend Bruce Cockburn (front row) both Saturday night by himself and then Sunday afternoon performing with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Robert Olen Butler (front row again). Oh, and Marcus Roberts Trio on Sunday morning. Fun weekend. Link to post Share on other sites

I like this a lot. I'll check out a bit more between now and showtime tomorrow, but now "I know where I'll be to(morrow)night!" Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 At least you have all possibilities covered. I'm in a similar situation for Billy & The Kids next Monday. I'll either go or I won't. Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 You in LA? You should go!No, in Virginia. The closest they're coming to me is DC. It's a midweek show so I can't make it, but it's killing me. Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Like that live album. I bet they are pretty good live.that show was awesome. i felt bad for Ethan since the crowd was rather small, but sunday night shows are a tough draw for people (plus, Brokeback/Chris Brokaw and Thalia Zedek/Black Helicopter were also competing for the same audience). i didn't really know much of the material (am only super familiar w/ _Magnificent Fiend_) but it all smoked. he's got a great band. go see him if they play your town (Chicago is next, at the Abbey tmrw night) Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 And ... ? Not used to seeing shows at the Fillmore which is much bigger than the usual theatres. Seemed like a pretty quiet crowd and a fairly tame show. The riot fest show a few years ago was much more of the unpredictable Replacements people generally expect. But having said that, they sounded fantastic. Westerbergs voice was really strong. Did most of the songs I was hoping to hear, some nice solo acoustic songs as well. Don't see a set list anywhere yet. I thought it was a great show overall. Link to post Share on other sites
