Great Night of Music!
Folks, I just want to encourage you to listen to or especially come to a MountainStage show. If you come, for about $15 you get to hear five bands and also see how a “live recorded” radio show is done. Tonight, I got to hear and see Mary Chapin Carpenter. I love her voice and her style. She did her new stuff which was good, but I still like her old music.
One of the things about going to MountainStage is that you get to hear bands that you might not do so otherwise. I saw the name of “Elvis Perkins in Dearland” and originally thought nothing of it. Elvis??? After the first song and through the rest of their set, I must say, I was as happy to have heard them as I was with Mary. Great sound and they’re interesting to watch too. The recently debuted album is called “Ash Wednesday”. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any CDs with them to sell tonight so I’ll have to get one from Amazon or somewhere! They have some concerts coming up for those of you in the southeast.
I’ll finish with what Larry Groce says, “Get out there and see and hear some live music!”
