Blind Pilot

Good times!

The reason that I started listening to these guys is because I heard from a friend that they did a music tour on their bicylces from Bellingham, Washington to San Diego, California.  Freakin Awesome!  After getting a cd I was hooked.  They have great lyrics that are rocked by amazing vocalists.  I saw this show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO just a few blocks from my AWESOME house.

The Fox Theatre is one of my favorites.  Small venue to get a one on one feeling with the music artists and the sound is almost always perfect.  I have, however, realized I find myself often mixed in a group of 16 year old kids every once in awhile.  Oh my god...am I already that old person in the crowd.  I remember thinking to myself when I started spiritually going to shows at the Canopy Club in Chambana, IL back in high school..."what's that old person doing here, like really"  Well  now that I am growing older and my LOVE for music is going nowhere, I might as well adapt to younger looking faces in the midst of the crowd!

The WOOD Brothers



This is one of my favorite from these guys.  Postcards from Hell from the Loaded album.  I discovered these guys through a friend and through Sirius radio (which I no longer subscribe to thanks for my Droid).  I much fell in Love with the cd's "Loaded"and "Up ABove My Head".  I went to this show at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins, CO and they brought a handful of their cd "Smoke Ring Halo" for us to buy before the cd had actually been released.  What nice guys!  They really were.  Although now it tends to be one of my favorites.  

How lucky is it to be born into a family that is musically talented and then to be able to share that experience with a brother.  These guys define the meaning cool.  As cheesy as that sounds but watching them do their best on stage is an amazing experience.
