Music
Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.
Tammy and I checked out Dinner Jazz with Jeremy Ylvisaker and Martin Dosh at Icehouse Minneapolis tonight. 🎶
Got to see a living legend tonight — Willie Nelson & Family headlining the Outlaw Music Festival 2023 in Somerset Amphitheater. At 90 he still can bring it. What an amazing musician. 🎶
Trampled By Turtles on stage at the Outlaw Music Festival 2023 at Somerset Amphitheater. 🎶
At the Hook and Ladder with friends for Summer Breeze Yacht Rock Fest featuring The Lonesome Losers. 🎶
Created a new list: List of Brandi Carlile Shows. Suspect I’m missing some but this was a quick assembly of the ones I have blog posts for. 🎶
Brandi Carlile closed out Mothership Weekend tonight with an epic set. After covering many of the recent top songs on Friday night, tonight they went deep in the catalog with tons of great songs. She also brought tons of guest musicians on the stage with her. This was the kind of performance you cannot see anywhere other than a big multi-day festival like this. Wow! 🎶
After a lightning delay with evacuation and an impromptu dinner at Mezcal (yum!) we returned to the festival to see an abbreviated performance from Emmylou Harris which was great. 🎶
We didn’t get to see much of Fancy Hagood. We arrived after they started and then lightning came through and they had to stop and have everyone leave the festival for a bit. What we heard was great though! 🎶
