Wolf Trap Wilco

Leave a comment

Wilco puts on a great show, and the Thursday night show at Wolf Trap was no exception.  Almost.  The venue has great sound but does sap energy.  By the end of the show the band had everyone up on their feet dancing (finally).

Here are some pictures and videos from the show.  We’ll start with my very favorite Wilco song, Impossible Germany…extended jam version.

 

 

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

 

 

Extended Wilco Jam…

 

 

I’m Always In Love

 

 

Jesus, Etc.

About the only thing that needs work here is the Wolf Trap ticketing system…which just sucks.  It forced us to sit separately from our super fun Wilco friends.  Alas.

But at least we had a great picnic before the show.

Though we arrived at 9:45, the line for the 10pm show snaked around the block.  The show started well after 10:30.  It was great.  We were right up front, dancing and singing for most of the show.

Thievery brought along all the singers.  Sadly, David Byrne didn’t make an appearance.

Cat Power Plays Bob

2 Comments

Heading into DC for a show is always fun. This time, Romey and I headed to Lincoln Theater to see someone named Cat play a bunch of songs written and performed almost 60 years earlier by someone named Bob.

The songs, by now, have become quite famous.  Rhine and I play a bunch of them together and have done for years.

Here is a snippet of Like a Rolling Stone (the last song)

But before that, we made a highly-recommended stop at Busboys and Poets for some food and drink.  Delicious and socially conscious at the same time.

The cocktail was named after Langston Hughes.  The pie was absolutely completely unnecessary.

The band was quite fantastic, that is really what I think.  Finally, electric! Tell me, momma.

 

 

And that was after a kind of longish acoustic set. Harmonica thresholds may have been exceeded.

Baby let me follow you down.

The interlude.

All in all, a great show. Sure would be great if DC learned how to dance though.

Jorma at McCabes (Hot Tuna)

I mean how can you top that?  Incredible musician in the absolute best place to experience a band in LA—McCabe’s Guitar Shop.

And not just Jorma, Jack Cassady too!

Lots of blues was had. Those 12 bars ringin.

Time to reflect.

There are no bad seats in the house. But there are a couple of excellent ones.

If you go, plan to buy an instrument or two.

Baby needs new shoes.

And maybe a digeridoo too.

Where’s Aubrey at the Barns of Rose Hill 11/11

6 Comments

Thanks to you, the Where’s Aubrey show Saturday 11/11 was a smashing success.  We played to an enthusiastic full house, missing a sell out of the venue by only four tickets.  JOBIE’s opening set was excellent.  An all around evening of great music performed for a good cause.

Speaking of which, together we raised $3305 on Saturday evening with $1983 going to the Shenandoah Riverkeeper to protect our local river.

We also released our ninth record, Hole, which is now available on most streaming services including spotify.  If you would like to join the 18 people who bought a physical copy of the CD for old time’s sake, just get in touch.

Where’s Aubrey before the show: Rhine Singleton, Charles Arthur, Gary McGraw, and Nick Schrenk.

Here are some pictures and videos of the show in approximate chronological order arranged by set lists.  What a night!

The band on stage: Nick on Drums, McGraw on fiddle, Rhine on Guitar, and Charles on everything else.

The Barbican: Fenella Humphreys & Leah Broad

The set of sonatas played by Fenella Humphreys & Leah Broad at the barbican was impressive and moving.  Excellent Sunday concert featuring a quartet of overlooked female composers.

The shoes!
