Had to hurry back from my trip to Illinois last week; I had to accompany Kevin and Drew to a concert. Tickets were part of Kevin’s Christmas last year. Getting home in time was a challenge; a 3-hour delay in Evansville, IN will do that!
But I made it, and we made it to Ann Arbor for the 8:00 start at the Ark. And I had heard songs my the main act before, but, at some point during the opening act, I had this huge “Wow, this is the folk-iest concert I’ve ever been too moment”.
To be perfectly clear here…this was Kevin asking to go to this concert, not me pushing him this way. We did have quite a discussion about Skippy Songs on the way too and from Drew’s house (he was telling me a song he was playing was…but, it was not, and I had to explain to him what made a Skippy song and what didn’t. Maybe a post for some other time.)
Opening act – one guy, a guitar, and a microphone. Six songs, one with a harmonica as well.
Main act – two guys, two guitars, and one microphone.
Ended up shelling out for all of Brian Wright’s albums; already had everything by the Milk Carton Kids.
