A typical downtown Tuesday evening!

Back in July Doug and I were hanging out and this is our conversation (paraphrased of course):

D:  Hey let's get tickets to see Gillian Welch!
Me: Okay, where at? . . .  Who is she?
D: She's got a bluegrass sound, similar to Alison Krauss probably. . . she's going to be at the Paramount in August!!
Me: Okay, well consider the tickets purchased!

And that's how it all started!  I went online and purchased said tickets, good seats and started to listen to her on grooveshark.com. 

Fast Forward to last night:
We got home from work and Doug rushed to get on his "country attire". (we really should invest in some cowboy boots and country outfits) He then comes into the living room and states that I should hurry our wings are waiting on us at Stateline!  : )

So of course I rush to change and then we walk down to Stateline for some pre-show wings and beer!  We had whiskey wings and bud light lime for dinner.  Seven-thirty came all to quick so we paid our bill and continued to the concert.

An evening with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings started around 7:15p.m. and played to a full house at the Paramount!  They were great!  What a great sound they have! 

Doug even purchased a wonderful autographed poster that we are excited to display with our Rhythm & Roots posters!



Thanks Gillian and Dave!  It was a wonderful show!  You have prepped us for the 2011 Rhythm & Roots Reunion!!!
