12.10.17 - The Dustbowl Revival with 300 Days - Globe Hall - Denver, CO
My first time at Globe Hall! It’s a cool smaller venue where on one side you have the concert hall portion and on the other the bar and places to eat some BBQ. I didn’t have any this time, but I’ll have other chances upcoming. And I can't ever go this long between concerts again, I was getting CRANKY! Anyway...
Starting off the night was local band 300 Days (a reference to the average amount of sunny days we get in CO) started off the night off right with their bluegrass/folk style. I loved the intros they had for their songs, they would tell us a little bit about the meaning or a funny anecdote. Both Nick Dunbar and Dave Solzberg are new fathers, and Mr. Dunbar was giving an intro to a new song that he had wrote about his son. A joke he made talking about him and Mr. Solzberg “yeah that’s right folks me and Dave are just a couple of DILF’s up here” bringing about some catcalls to which he responded “hey now it stands for Devoted Involved Loving Father” Ha!
I talked to fiddliest Melissa McGinley very briefly after their set, and she gave me one of their EP’s, even though I didn’t have any cash. Lucky for me it looks like they’re closing out the Tiny Library season, so I’ll pay them in kind then (if I don’t see them before)
The Dustbowl Revival packed in up on the stage at and came out roaring with “Call My Name” which is such a great song full of energy and is the perfect showcase of their combined talent and for anybody that hasn’t seen them before is a great taste of what’s to come.
Everything I said back in August holds true, and seeing them again reminds me of some of the little things they do that I love. I really like how they duck out of the way when someone has a solo. I’m pretty certain they did it back at the Levitt, but it was all the more noticeable here.
And true to my word, I bought their vinyl and got everyone to sign it, well except somehow I missed James. So I reckon I’ll just HAVE to see them AGAIN to fix it :P
It Was Awesome!
