I have seen this band twice in the last couple weeks, which means I was willing to pay twice to see them. You should too.
It’s a collective out of Nashville, ten solo artists who are on tour together. They each play 2 of their own songs, with everyone else rotating instruments and playing backup for them. It’s like a “live ipod shuffle”. I don’t want to sound overly excited here, but it was one of the best things I have gone too in a while. They are all emerging in the Nashville scene, some of them have had songs on Tv Shows (Grey’s Anatomy); some are just very good looking.

“Lovin’s for Fools” -by Sarah Siskind (one of the 10/Tenn), playing with Bon Iver. Not the show I was at, but at least it’s Bon Iver, I figured if you didn’t believe that these artists were good, I could lure you into it with Justin Vernon’s beard.
And if that doesn’t do it for you. They came out into the crowd and did an encore among the lowly folk. As they descended upon the crowd, one of the band members handed me and my friend two shakers, and we got to play with the band. Make it 12 out of Tenn. Wait for the shakers to start at 0:26. Me doing what I was made to do. The video sucks but I am in it and I am vain so just watch it.
The irony of your excitement over this experience with the shakers is how extreme your hatred for Bob Marley is. Yikes.
I sure do hate Bob Marley. It’s hard to tell, but from the video, you may be able to see than I am actually not smiling. Every little thing was in fact alright though.
