ACL Update - Thursday Pre Shows - Part 2

Colin herring was up next. He had his own steel guitar player, "my dad", he announced to us. Then he went on to tell us that this was his first sober performance in years, having just gotten out of rehab 30 days ago. He reminded us of a nervous and shy Ryan Adams. I really love his CD and look forward to seeing a full show some day.

Opening for the Scabs was Dames Violet. They are a modern rock band with a big sound. They remind me a lot of Palo Alton but not as dark. Most of their songs were very radio friendly, although I'm not really sure I know what that means anymore. They were a nice warmup for the main attraction. Sorry, no pictures.
