It’s not everyday that you get to see a killer folk/celtic group open up for a exceptional country band. Well actually, it’s not everyday that I go
see a country band at all. Usually I see jamgrass musicians… Which is a mixture of bluegrass bands that jam, however, today was the exception, as me, my dad and brother headed to the Morristown Community Theater to see The Andy Goessling Trio, Roger Deitz, and Brian McArdle & Wry Toast.
To be honest, I was dying to see some live music, and I think this tended to my need for a little. I don’t care who’s playing, as long as I can have a good time, I am happy. However, I really did have fun at this Garden State Folk Festival, even though i was tied down to my seat.
Originally I was planning on going with just my dad, but then my 1st grade brother – Bobby, asked if he could come along, which is pretty awesome, because it shows the kid loves music just as much as we do. So we said, sure Bobby, you can tag along, it’s no problem, and he was psyked. We made our way to the Morristown Community Theater for the 2nd time in my life; first time was seeing Railroad Earth on 6/28/2008, front row, center. (it was HEAVEN). We had walked in during the little intro act of Roger Deitz who was picking on the guitar, and banjo, playing some interesting folk/western vibed tunes. I was satisfied to say the least. (more…)
