Last weekend I had the opportunity to see the incredible Ruthie Foster at a small music hall in Golden, CO. If you like Blues with a tinge of folk and rock in there, she's as good as it gets. Incredibly tight band. Her personality is like a ray of sunshine and comes through in her Aretha Franklin-esque singing. I am not exaggerating - if she's playing near you sometime do yourself a favor and check it out.

I ordered one for my wife from the NFL website and delivery time is 6 weeks. Disappointing timeline but they do look cool in my opinion (and I hope, in hers as well)

He tore his ACL and MCL. Not sure what they are hiding. Also not sure how the timing to have their best player tear up his knee is convenient for Florida. I would think there is no convenient time for that.

Provides on-ice toughness with his size...wait...strike that. Yes, he's great in the dressing room.

Update: In Toronto tonight GM opened and TTB closed. This could change each night. Warren came out at the end of the TTB set and they played Stand Back and ended with A Little Help from my Friends (Joe Cocker arrangement, which they just kill).

FYI the 5 co-headliner shows with Gov't Mule and TTB are all being streamed on Nugs, if you are a subscriber or a member of the TTB fan club. I am going to the Detroit show as seeing the Mule and TTB in the same night is a bucket list item for me. Will also be interesting to see who opens and who closes each night. TTB is doing the alternating open/close thing with Whiskey Myers right now. That's a weird pairing (I saw it in St Louis) but TTB and Gov't Mule is perfect. And yes, I will be shocked if Warren and Derek don't join forces to bring out some ABB tunes each night. I expect for the 6th show they co-headline, later in October in Macon, GA that some of the other brothers like Oteil and Jaimoe may show up as well.

Just saw Keb Mo tonight. He and his band were great as usual. Interesting that it was advertised as Shawn Colvin and Keb Mo but Shawn was actually an opening act of sorts with Keb Mo and his band being her backing band on 4-5 songs in addition to 3 she did solo with acoustic guitar. Then she left the stage and 'Mo played for 1.5 hours.

So in a league-wide basketball tournament made up of each team's defenseman, we just need a point guard? Or is that why Kevyn keeps Bryson around? It would explain it, at least.

I’m in with Gov’t Muel again

Last night it was the Robert Cray Band. Incredibly tight band and Bob is still a master at age 72. His playing and singing is superb. If you have a chance to see them on tour I highly recommend.

Tedeschi Trucks Band this Friday Aug 1st and Saturday Aug 2nd at Red Rocks. One of my favorite weekends of the year.

Live look-in at Kevyn Adam's office

Saw them at Red Rocks last month. Great show. Agree that Kevin Hearn carries more of the load and is very capable of doing so.

I figure they have half a brain between them, but Rivet has the whole half.
