Time for some musicSaturday night, I attended the Railroad Revival Tour concert in Tempe with Krista, Jeremi and Amanda. Mild, breezy weather made it perfect for an evening, outdoor concert. This tour consists of 3 bands traveling to 6 venues by vintage rail cars. This was a great show. Not only were the bands eclectic, but so was the crowd. Senior citizens, teenagers, college students, couples with young children, the whole gamut. Everyone was having a great time.
Act 1 - Old Crow Medicine Show
These guys started the show off with rip-roaring bluegrass. They got on it from the start and energized the crowd.
Act 2 - Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros
This group had the shortest set, but their eclectic brand of folk/Americana kept the energy going. They had at least 10 people in the group and bodies were flying everywhere. They had the crowd whistling when they played "Home," their bringing-down-the-house song.
Act 3 - Mumford & Sons
Classic British folk music from the UK. Their recent CD, Sigh No More, is one of the best I've heard in years. Top to bottom a great album. They also played two new songs and, if they were any indication, the next album is gonna be good, too. These guys are good - good musicians and good lyricists.
