Anyone who reads often knows how we love Woodsongs. It is probably my favorite thing about living in Lexington – live music (almost) every Monday night, less than $100 a year for the two of us, always a good show.
Sometimes we get lucky and Woodsongs brings artists we know.
And sometimes we get REALLY lucky and they bring artists we follow.
Last night, were really lucky.
Sara Watkins (also tweets here) was one of the acts. We called the first 2 songs she did – Long Hot Summer Day and All This Time. We were front row. The crowd was pretty energetic. And despite the comment Michael Johnathan made about her backside, the show went pretty well. There was the lady out front who was disruptive taking pictures, so I decided not to pull my camera out even though I would have been very discreet. So no action shots today. Even though I really really wanted to get a shot of her while she was listening to the other act with her chin propped on her fist, but I didn’t want to rock the boat. Especially not on her birthday!
The other act – the Lovell Sisters and on twitter – were also fantastic. And one of them approached us after the show to tell us how we made her laugh as we overacted for the audience camera. That’s the best part of Woodsongs – getting to chat with the artists after.
Anytime you find yourself in Lexington on a Monday night, find your way to the Kentucky Theater. I’ll be sitting up front with the guy with the red hair.
