Last night, heck a few hours ago, Trippp bro's from AR. Opened for BlackBerry Smoke's 25th anniversary show, in Napa at the Uptown Theater.
I didn't think I'd like the Trippp Bro's, the oldest brother was sick so it was the middle bro playing an acoustic guitar,and The youngest brother singing. They did great without a bass player. BlackBerry Smoke killed it. We bought last minute tickets and got front row stage right, one seat over from are seats a couple if weeks ago for Eric Johnson. They amazing seats, although we could see the whole drummer, for some reason they hadthe amps pulled up almost infront if the drum kit, it was kinda weird, I had a perfect view of the 3 guitar players, and the bass player.
Charlie Starr must've had 8-10 guitar changes, he killed it one the Telli B bender.
Not really my first choice of music styles, I'm way more into metal and hard rock, but I was impressed with the talent. Once again after the show, Charlie walks over and hands me his guitar pick. I guess I better start a collection, Eric Johnson did the same thing a few weeks ago. And it's not like I was standing up screaming for one like other people were, it must've been my moonshine shirt with a big Still on the front. It says rise and shine in big letters. Two picks in two shows, is kind weird. Cool to see what other guys use to play.
Fun night again.
Can't sleep, laying in a hotel bed typing in the dark, I hope there aren't to many mistakes. LOL
