Seen her three times Rev. First time was when she opened for Lucero in Solana Beach back in Nov '21. Drove down just to see her as I fell in love with her debut album at the beginning of the pandemic. 2nd time was here at The Depot May '22. Again she opened for whomever was the headliner and we went just to see her. Didn't even stick around for headliner. 3rd time she headlined at the Commonwealth Room summer '23. IMHO, she's gotten to big now for me to enjoy seeing her. If you weren't on that train at the beginning, you really missed out on seeing her in a small venue. She does put on a helluva show though. First time, she did a sick mash up of Suspicious Minds/Shook Me All Night Long. Second time, she did an even sicker mash up of Our Love/Jessie's Girl. Google that shit; you'll be happy that you did.

Saw Margo open for ??? about a year ago here at The Commonwealth - just went to see her. Stoked she's coming back to headline this spring. One for the Woodsy, Buzz, Rev and Phall. P.S. Got ALOT more that I can contribute ;)

Can't believe none of you mentioned Fred yet. The whole damn album is great!

Caught Emily at Tree Fort last spring cause she keeps cancelling her fucking shows in SLC.

Thanks Xover. Fred is awesome.
I'll put Margo on the list of shows to check out.
Just saw Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country at TSR. was a hell of a show for us Country fans and Phisheads who collide in a weird alien land.
Jesse Daniel 4/20 at the state room too.

Had to drive to Great Falls to Catch Amanda in August '22 at the Forde Nursery.

The background story on Karly is interesting to say the least ;) Caught her at The Garage fall of '21.

Just had another friend recommend Daniel Donato to me based on that show. He’ll be at the Mangey Moose soon if I recall correctly.

Unfortunately we ended up bailing on driving down due to the weather that night. Def want to catch him next time he's back in SLC.

Thanks D-Day; that is the hardest I've laughed in years!!

That's rad and unfortunately, exactly what I was afraid of. Seeing her with Lucero (the fucking best) would be incredible.

*frontwoman for Windhand occasionally puts out solo acoustic doom-folk/country material, good stuff.

James McMurtry seems to get pigeonholed as Americana music, which is Country Music for Liberals.

Regardless, a great songwriter

Just bought tickets for Old 97’s (Center for the arts, Jackson).
Nothing like great show a few blocks from home!
(April 21, town will be dead)

So what's the true appeal of Morgan Wade? Her music is good but also, ahem, unremarkable. My theory is if you are a middle aged man listening to troubled love songs by Morgan, some of which is tweeny agnsty pop music, you just have a crush on her and her voice. I haven't listened to her much (and would like to keep it that way after listening to a few songs) so maybe I'm off.

Has Joshua Ray Walker been mentioned? Haven't seen his name in the past 3-5 pages roughly.

If it wasn't on a Sunday, I'd have driven up for that one. Instead headed to Laramie on Friday. Stoked!!

I definitely liked Reckless better than Psychopath. Psychopath definitely is a more poppy, mainstream album and as my buddy says "overproduced". Maybe go back and give Reckless a listen top to bottom ....

For some reason my Dad forgot to tell me about this OG :)

Agreed, he is a fantastic and underrated.

One of the best Live bands around!

Seeing this guy with Lydia Loveless next Tuesday at TSR. Stoked! D-Day you should be jealous :D

Seen 'em more times than I can count. First time was way back in '99 or 2000. At that time pretty much all I knew was 19 and Murder or a Heart Attack. They absolutely blew me away and I've seen ALOT of live shows. I immediately went out and bought their whole catalogue.

I have two free tickets to see Jamie Wyatt at the Bluebird in Denver, tomorrow 1/26 if anyone wants them. We caught her last summer at the Public House in CB, was one of our favorite shows of the year. Really good band.

Lucero almost didn't even play because they knew they couldn't follow her up .... no lie!! Ben couldn't stop gushing :)

Discovered these cats a couple of summers ago.

These guys are local. They always put on a great show at The Hogs! Their lead singer doesn't like taking requests though :the_finge

Darci is awesome in all facets of a musician! Plus, she's very easy on the eyes :fm: Seen her a handful of times.

Yeah, my buddy wanted to go to that show sooooo bad, but as you know it got sold out :(

These guys are also local and got a show coming up at Aces! Saw them last Sept at the Fisher Mansion; they put on a helluva show :)

First time I saw Jamie was when she opened for American Aquarium at the now defunct Beauty Bar in Vegas, late August 2018. Helluva a double bill!!

I bet that was good! I still haven't seen AA. High on my list.

Charlie Crockett show in Burlington, VT in late May sold out within hours.

Seeing American Aquarium, Turnpike Troubadours and Red Clay Strays at Red Rocks in May. Pretty stoked.
