Secretly, I know this evening was up to something good! Although I just finished working that day, it was freezing cold outside and had to hurry for arriving right on time, it all was really worthwile!
When I arrived, the Winston was quite packed (and that's a first!). Dutch locals All On Black were already performing. Nothing major here, it sounded alright (although sometimes they sounded a bit Britpopesque) and a nice way to relax and have a beer.
When they finished, it was finally time for the two headliners, where Chris Wollard & The Ship Thieves had the honour to do the kickoff. Really a terrific show of them:
After this show, it was time for Drag The River, the band from Jon Snodgrass and Chad Price. A more acoustic, intimate performance compared to the previous two shows this evening:
It was truly wonderful! Great atmosphere in the Winston together with some amazing music. At the end people in the audience could say what song they'd like to hear which they performed. Both band members had great fun and gave an excellent show, so afterwards I went home with a big smile on my face!
I'm really glad this would be my last concert of 2009, because this evening truly reflected the music I listened to this year: lots of alt-country, folk, americana, singer-songwriter stuff! At the first part of 2009 I wasn't convinced this year would offer me the same or even more than 2008 (or 2007!), the last part made it up big time!
Let's hope 2010 will be another great year in music with more interesting concerts, artists, releases and mindblowing experiences!
