The Poojer Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 michaael k is awesome...saw him late last year, he has a great sound, i'll be looking forward to your reaction from all these shows, good or bad. And that Dawes show I mentioned is this week for me. Looking forward to shovels and rope opening... Then pretending I hated it to get money from pooj. Then, despite my knocking them, Mumford the week after. Free tickets and Michael kiwanuka opening so ill go and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw MK opening for the shakes a few months back. was familiar with him before, and he confirmed his talent live. looking forward to him again.

The Poojer Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm gonna see them in September in Philly... Can't wait.. Aren't the touring with rabbit or turtles? Should be a great show either way.

Should be a great show either way. Opening band is Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Never heard of them, but as you said, should be a great show either way.

You will likely enjoy. They had a terrible pop hit but a lot of good stuff in their catalog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Grace Potter is awesome... She rocks AND she's hot! Yeah, WOW! Just checked out a couple clips on YouTube. I don't know if their music is really my cup of tea, but I will definitely be enjoying the view of Ms. Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I was mistaken...we get Trombone Shorty with the Avett's.....pretty awesome double bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I was mistaken...we get Trombone Shorty with the Avett's.....pretty awesome double bill I've been cheerleading for shorty for quite some time. I feel like I never have a feel for his national recognition.... He's great though. A true star of a performer and talented musician as well.

I remember just 6 or 7 years ago when the Avett's were playing tiny bars all over the Charlotte,NC area. Saw them at a dive bar in Concord along with 30 or 40 other lucky fans.

The Poojer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That's $10K without Steve Martin(& Edie Brickell) I'm sure... it's pretty tough to predict who is gonna make it big and who is gonna still be playing the dive bars, in my experience. unfortunately, talent clearly isn't always the deciding factor but these guys have it. amazingly, the band that just won the bluegrass grammy for best album, Steep Canyon Rangers, gets $10k minimum in comparison... mommas don't let your babies grow up to be bluegrass artists.

birdog1960 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That's $10K without Steve Martin(& Edie Brickell) I'm sure... yup, i'm pretty certain of that. they're playing some pretty cool places (telluride, charleston sc, a bluegrass cruise, etc) lately though, so i guess it's not so awful bad. i taped there scheduled performance on letterman with edie brickell and steve martin and they were like invisible studio musician playing simple backup stuff...i felt bad for them knowing what kind of stuff they can do but they probably made a nice paycheck.

The Poojer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I saw them here in a small place @800. It was Steve, Edie & The Rangers here's the set...pretty good stuff http://vimeo.com/67671897 audio only http://www.xpn.org/events/non-comm/non-comm-2013-audio-archive/item/2840-steve-martin-and-edie-brickell yup, i'm pretty certain of that. they're playing some pretty cool places (telluride, charleston sc, a bluegrass cruise, etc) lately though, so i guess it's not so awful bad. i taped there scheduled performance on letterman with edie brickell and steve martin and they were like invisible studio musician playing simple backup stuff...i felt bad for them knowing what kind of stuff they can do but they probably made a nice paycheck.
