Live Music Revisted

A while back a had a little pity party about not getting to see live music anymore.

My first line of attack was to go see some of the Lewisville free live shows, especially Brave Combo on Oct. 2. Well on Oct. 3 I remembered about that show :-( ug, tough being old.

But the irony was that I ended up hitting the Granda two weeks in a row.

First show was Dumpstaphunk. This is a New Orleans band that includes two Neville's from Nawlin's first family of music. Good, funky stuff. And words of wisdom, if something is getting you down, holding you back or ruining your mood just put it in the dumpsta. Crowd was very light and balcony was closed. So no crowd feeling, that was good. Denton's own Snarky Puppy opened, that was cool too.

Second show was jamband extrodinare Umphrey's McGee. They delivered amazing mind blowing jams. They aren't quite moe. but they do have a unique and impressive sound. Plus they brought an amazing light show to go with. Cool stuff.

Kind of wore out the kitchen passes though so back to hibernation for a while... but it was o-so-sweet. Thanks you!
