Thirty minutes out from the show!
Somehow this is the first time I’ve caught Willie live “solo” (he’s got a band with him tonight) and I’m really looking forward to it!
Anyone else going to see Willie on this tour?

I might see him at the Station Inn this Thursday night. it's a 1 hours show since it's apart of AmericanaFest. Should be a goodern, none the less

Definitely go! It was great to see Willie backed by a band. The fiddle adds a lot. Cool to see Ben for the first time. Nice three part harmonies throughout the show.

G.A.R. Hall is a great intimate venue, I was in the second row, fifteen feet from Willie the whole show. Can’t believe it’s the first time I’ve caught him live, apart from Old Crow.

Highly highly recommend checking him out with his current band.

I didn't end up going. Had a lot going on at work and had my radio show until 8pm. A 10pm concert wasn't in the cards. I've seen him on his own a few dozen times, though. Always a good time.

Dang, Rodge. Haha. Showing me up bigtime.

The other cool thing about the show was several new originals. I've heard him play 'Slim and the Devil' online a few times, but he played another that he mentioned was specifically inspired by his break-up with Old Crow, which was quite good. He said he's been writing songs again more regularly. I'm hoping he's gearing up to release a new record soon.
