Who Did You Just See Live?

[The one from the North]

Jason Ringenberg. A pleasant father and son evening with good music.

Yngwie Malmsteen a couple of months ago and The Darkness a couple of weeks ago. We are looking forward to seeing The Mavericks again next month.

This guy last night.

The Reverend Horton Heat with Jason D. Williams and Dale Watson earlier this week. Wow! I have seen the Rev and Watson numerous times but Williams took the show to another level. Insanely phenomenal show! One of the best in memory. I cannot wait to see them all together again.

Mandolin maniac Sierra Hull and her quartet, at the Ridgefield Playhouse in CT last week. My first time seeing her, and wow, they blew the roof off the place!

She's a tremendous talent in a tiny package, an inspired instrumentalist and fine vocalist, and her band is great. They played awesome traditional bluegrass, progressive bluegrass, spacy jams, some of her own (pretty good) songs, and outstanding cover tunes.

YouTube links for some of those cover songs - not the performances I saw last week, but with the same four-piece backup group she tours with, so they're pretty comparable:

Sierra Hull tours extensively, and if you dig bluegrass, she's absolutely worth seeing if she comes around your neck of the woods...

^^^^^ I love Sierra Hull!

Saw The Rolling Stones on 7/21 at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena near Branson, Missouri.

This was the last stop on the North American leg of their “Hackney Diamonds Tour”. This is a much smaller venue than the other stops and was added due to the relationship between Johnny Morris (my employer) and Chuck Leavell (the Stone’s keyboard player).

The band was as iconic as ever and the opening act (Samantha Fish) was great!

Samantha Fish is great. Saw her on a Blues Cruise in the Caribbean in 2011.

Caught a favorite of my wife and me last Saturday. Scythian is a high energy blend of Celtic, Ukrainian, and American folk/bluegrass.

Beautiful Thursday night to catch Ruthie Foster.

Caught one of my favorites a couple of weeks ago and it's been way too long. Trundled up to Lima, OH, and caught Blue Oyster Cult. Good show, and they pulled out a couple of nuggets from the catalog, which is what I was hoping for. And Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma) is a pleasure to listen to on guitar.

Back in the 70s it seemed like, if these guys weren't the opening act, Bob Seger was.

Sorry for the blur on the close-ups. I was in the balcony.
