It's the late end of a long day, so this is short.
I saw a great show tonight at one of my favorite venues.
I had heard great things about the headliner, Madi Diaz, and she and her band delivered. Rock-edged pop songs with great hooks and textures and execution. Good stuff.
Keegan Dewitt (with 4-piece string section) and Jacob Jones were also solid.
But the awesome unexpected pleasant surprise of the evening was Vandaveer. A guy and a girl + one guitar, but with so many colors and so much power and huge vitality. Folk ballads with a cool and varied Euro troubadour tinge. They have an album coming out in August that I am definitely looking forward to. Seeing their set put a big fat joyful smile on my face that I just couldn't help.
I'm kinda wired now. Good luck with sleeping.
