Last night I went and saw a Kathleen Edwards concert. She is a folksy Canadian whose cd I have been moderately enjoying. It was interesting, b/c usually the alternative and poppy concerts I go to are full of high school kids, but this concert was full of their parents....and couples.

Thoughts on the concert:

- Opener Amy York - quiet chick with guitar singing folk music. enough said. except of course that it basically sucked.

- Band - consisted of Kathleen Edwards and a guy who looked like Drew Lachey. Drew played piano and some electric guitar, and sang back up, albeit not very good back up. I also never got over the fact that he was a dead ringer for our Dancing with the Stars champion. As a side note, he was also Canadian.

- Banter - this is where the concert was at its best. Kathleen Edwards took a number of shots during the show, and I would say managed to get pretty drunk, or "blasted" as she said. I believe that is a Canadian term. The more drunk she got, the more hilarious her rambling became. I never thought I would say a folk singing chick was maybe the funniest artist I've ever heard in concert.

- Overall - the show was a big winner. the music was above average as well.

Oh, and you might wonder why I had tickets to a folk concert. I bought them for a chick, and when it didn't work out I never got around to giving them to her. So I took my bro.
