Thursday – TPS Not!

Just a short post on our Thursday night show because I want to spend some time on both of these artists a little later. We strayed away from Tin Pan South for what turned out to be a great evening. It’s a little after 1:00 a.m. and I am wired. Justin Townes Earle has been on the cover and center of attention in several local papers here, so we took a chance at getting into his show at the Mercy Lounge. I’m so glad we did.

The opening band was The Felice Brothers. My gosh, what a show they put on. They are a group of five, three of them brothers, from New York. I would highly recommend their live performance if they are in a town near you.

This appeared to be a homecoming of sorts for Justin Earle. Yes, you probably know who his daddy is. But he can stand on his own, and did it very well. He’s had a rough patch, but is alive and kicking. We saw that tonight. I wish him the best. More on both of these later!
