Track:Opening Night
Twangfest day 4 opened with The High Strung, the only real 'buzz band' on the bill all week. They were outstanding - I think they were happy to be playing a bar in the midst of their library tour. (seriously, they play libraries)I wasn't too amped up to see Slaid Cleaves (hooray, a singer songwriter) but I had forgotten that he is one of the more engaging singer songwriters out there. An excellent set that veered from folk to bluegrass to Don Walser style yodeling that kept even the rockers attention.My hatred of The Ass Ponys is so great it has expanded into hatred of Wussy. I hated them. That is all.I have a friend who has been insisting for, oh, 20 years or so, "The Figgs are the best live band in America." A week ago Saturday was the first time I had seen them live.The Figgs are the best live band in America.
