Routes & Branches 12/15/12

Well the cowboys and the hippies all showed up to fill Sam Bond's Garage last night to see the Turnpike Troubadours and Corb Lund & The Hurtin' Albertans. Needless to say the place was rockin' with "Our Kind of Music"!!! These guys had Eugene sounding like a Texas Roadhouse with everyone dancing and having a good time. The next time they come through we're going to have to find a bigger place to hold the party. I had so much fun that I had to start off the show with a set of tunes played last night.
Other highlights this week focused on a couple of up coming shows here in Eugene. The first of which is our local annual "John Prine Sing-A-Long" which is happening before Christmas this year. Everyone knows at least one or two John Prine songs and this a chance to sing them all. It's like a night of karaoke with a live band for back up and a room full of friends to sing along.
Second was the focus on Kinky Friedman who will be bring his "Bi-Polar Tour" to Eugene this week. Friedman I think will fit right into Eugene judging from the new tour recorded CD.
