So sad to see the "greats" in the industry passing on....now we are left with lame music videos with 60 takes and chopped up segments to make an artist look talented...

Got to see Vince Gill from row 5 center. Not the most dynamic stage presence but the man knows his way around stringed instruments and sings like an angel.

When we saw Tedeschi Trucks a couple gave us their tickets so they could enjoy the lawn scene, we took their awesome seats for 3 songs or so. they got to chill on the lawn and babysit our space. Win win.

Here is an actually talented Icelandic new artist. It’s a production video and kinda corny/cheesy. I think I love her anyway.

If you have lawn tickets (preferred and often sell out first) you can bring a cooler with wine cheese beer etc. and leave completely bombed if that’s your thing. Been there many times. It’s awesome. I never leave bombed because I’m a grownup.

Been to Wolftrap many times. Saw Buddy Guy there. Saw B. B. King there. Great venue.

Not much more worse "cultural appropriation" than a black R&B singer doing country - but shhhhh; we can't say that.

Just my lame take at irony. Nobody has a better voice than Gregg Allman. Equal maybe, better, not a chance.

Don’t think I ever listened to an entire beyonnsss-aye song on purpose.

Saw several other bands there as well, including Dickie Betts and Great Southern.

Yes I knew about the medicine bottle. The vintage bottles from the 70's sell for hundreds. Many others also use the Coricidin bottle, Derek Trucks, Warren Hayes...
The bottle was made like a liquor bottle not pyrex. I guess that made the difference.

Haven’t seen the Bros but have seen Tedeschi Trucks at Wolftrap Theater for the Performing Arts, one of the better outdoor venues. You can bring your own wine and food!

Many favorite Allman Brothers Band songs but this one is a personal inspiration, performed solo by Mr. Warren Hayes.

Someone help a brother out. I forgot how to post a yt link.

Tell me more about this Warren Hayes fella, I never heard of him.

I've been a long-time fan of this fella though:

Shoot. Had Haynes first and edited to Hayes. Really. I did.
