It was awesome. So good live. This was the second last show of their tour and they sounded spot on. Their vocals were on point, and they ended one song with an extended drum line of sorts which had the crowd super amped. I said "this is so great" more than once during that drumline.
My favorite song of the night was I'm broke, and Protect your hive was just as great as I'd hoped it would be.
I love the River and the Road. Their album was the soundtrack to fall 2013, and the lyrics spoke to what that time was all about for me. I hope they release a new album soon. Such talented gents! Here is one picture before and one picture after the show. Hair matted down and sweaty from dancing. Both fellas were nice and welcoming, really wonderful.
I know I know, the first photo is only good because it is so damn blurry.
I could have 30/30 made up of just bands and comedians to see before I turn 30. Music and comedy are my two great loves. I could really have 500/30. But I picked two musical acts for a reason. Live music is so amazing. Unlike listening to the recorded version of the same songs, live music seems to fill up your veins.
The River and the Road is representative of my musical tastes right now. They are big favorites of mine. I couldn't venture a guess as to how many times I've played Shaking Leaf. Their music speaks to me and that is why I chose them to represent music on this list. I chose them as Present-Future music. I chose Jarvis Church (who hasn't been super active recently) to represent Past music. He speaks to my tastes getting to this point, or to 30 really.
Music was always coming from the walls in my house growing up. I was a dancer, so were my older brothers, and music was everything to my mom. It was never a quiet house, and my mom's music taste is amazing. I have a distinct memory of walking down the stairs and hearing my brother play the Philosopher Kings, Charms. And it has been a favorite of mine ever since. I just looked it up. They released that single in '95. I was 8. My brother Michael was 16. That's why I chose Jarvis Church.
Good music changes your body chemistry. The River and the Road makes such good music and performs amazing live. I have a big crush on this band! :)
It was great great great. so glad I went.
There might be too much T in this band t shirt
