Just prior, Jack had seen a poster for a concert in Roanoke, The Avett Brothers. He thought it was a Christian Rock Band and dismissed it almost as quickly as he'd seen it. (In these parts, the odds were in his favor). When he put two and two together, he briefly mentioned there was a concert on the 11th, but since G was having his friend b-day party, we probably couldn't make it.
But, the stars aligned (which mostly means my mom was willing to babysit all the kids for the entire evening) and Jack and I, along with John and Brittany visiting from Ohio, were able to get tickets and go.
Rave reviews!! I cannot get their amazing harmony, mad instrumental skills, and out of control foot moves out of my mind. I am newly obsessed with a genre I didn't even know existed, and quite frankly, sounds a little dirty. Not sleazy dirty, but actually dirty.

We will have to wait over a year but would like to hear this group. AND
By the way, really love that hair style - you, not the band.
Check out Old Crow Medicine Show...you'll probably dig them to, a bit more polished, not quite so "dirty" but still good nonetheless.
I LOVE GRUNGE GRASS--dirty or not! So good...so good...thanks again!!!!
Nice Self Portrait Jack.
Great fun!!
My favorite part of this post was hearing how the stars aligned. Grandma Linda is the greatest!
Grunge grass, huh? I didn't know that genre existed, either...it sounds like the the stains I find on the knees of my boys jeans. Glad you had a great time!
I forgot the punctuation on, "boys'". I don't know why it was bugging me so much.
There...I feel better, now.
Richard and I are SO jealous. I have been listening to them for years... my bro in law made me a disc of them for xmas about 4 years ago! Have never seen them!! Glad you liked it.
