not too much of a story leading up to the show, but you know. whatever. "home"town show means no crazy roadtrip or driving shenanigans. and no one accompanying meant i was just chillin in my seat alone next to some grandpas. speaking of grandpas. the average age of the crowd was probably around fifty. for real. i felt ridiculously out of place. but WOW, was the musical aspect of the night blog-worthy. the show was at a real theater too, you know, like with seats and stuff. so that was interesting; i definitely had a hard time sitting still.
the opener, low anthem, was fantastic and had quite the eclectic array of instruments. one including a saw. and the others... well i'm not even going to try guessing what all they were playing up there. i'm pretty musically-retarded when it comes to actual instruments and the like. but trust me when i say they were great and that you should check em out, specifically the song charlie darwin. it gave me goosbumps. and then the avett brothers. oooooh man. i thought i was excited, but this apparently wasn't the case... i'm surprised the guy in front of me didn't pass out when the curtain opened. he was jumping up and down like a giddy little fan girl. hilariously entertaining. they opened with january wedding and from there, i don't even know. i was just having a good time and trying to keep my jaw off the floor. amazing! put them on your list of bands to see before you die.
this is the closest i will ever get to seeing a "country" concert.
