Wednesday evening at IBMA 2008

Last night John and I stayed up way past our bedtime so we could check out some of the late night showcases. We took a stroll downtown with Dailey & Vincent (video coming soon), then returned to the convention center for an evening of great music from the Keith Case artists.

I snapped a couple photos, but I wasn’t able to get to close to the stage. The crowd was packed into that room. The Dan Tyminski Band, Sierra Hull, Mountain Heart with Tony Rice…I guess I can understand why the crowd!

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it in the room until the Tyminski band was finished, so I don’t have any pictures of them. But here’s a picture of Sierra with her band, and couple of Mountain Heart, one by themselves, and a couple after Tony Rice joined them on stage.

    I just wanted to take a second to thank you for the tickets to the Mountain Heart/Tony Rice show at the Paramount Center last night.

    Tuesday night random

    Tuesday night at IBMA I found myself wandering around on the lower two levels of the convention center during the After Hours Showcases.

    After a hiatus of 16 months, Clay Jones has re-assumed the guitar chair with Mountain Heart.

"I'm so excited...

    John posted Saturday with his review of the Tony Rice/AKUS concert we attended Friday evening. Here are my thoughts on the concert after a weekend of reflection on the show.

    IBMA Travelogue # 9

    Our own intrepid correspondent, Richard Thompson , spent a week in Nashville in early October, having traveled from the UK to attend the IBMA convention.
