Mad Fox Beer Dinner

Mad Fox threw together their first beer dinner as a fund raiser for a friend of the brewery with a sickness. Teri and I took Teri's cousin Oden who was in town from Montana. They caught on pretty quick that he was under 21 so no beer for him. The menu...

Maceo Parker & Karl Denson

I've been going to see these two sax players for almost 20 years. Maceo was on the scene first and had a good funk groove. Karl came out in the mid 90's and really threw down. I'm surprise these two haven't come together for a sax party previously. It was a great show.

Black Crowes

The Black Crowes came for two nights at the 9:30 Club. Teri and went for the second night. The first night sold out right away so I got tickets for the second night on a Sunday. Then a few weeks later Charlie Hunter announced a date at Jammin' Java on the same Sunday. Whatareyougoingtodo? The Black Crowes put on a good show as usual. I didn't realize how thin Chris had gotten.

Infamous Stringdusters

While trying to catch up on old posts in the second half of 2010 I found a ticket stub to this show. I'm sure there are a few other shows I missed posting about. This one was at the State Theater. I'm not a fan of their new rules and security. I do remember these guys came out to the middle of the dance floor and threw down acoustic style for the encore. They always rock out.

Soulive @ 9:30 Club

Soulive came to the 9:30 Club for some good jams. It had been awhile since I had seen them. I'm posting way after the fact so not much to recall. Nigel Hall opened and he got the favor of the crowd. It was their Rubber Soulive tour and I do remember it was something special. They rocked the Beatles. I'd love to have a soundboard recording from this tour.
