Ticket Stub Tuesday… Round Seventeen:
As you may have noticed, a key component of “Ticket Stub Tuesday” is missing…. the ticket stub! This is the only concert that I’ve been to (to date) where I lost the stub in the venue. That just goes to show what a great time I had! @SimTilver was supposed to scan a copy of his for me, but he still hasn’t done that.. uhHum…
This was my second Sara Bareilles concert and first time seeing Jon McLaughlin, both of which co-headlined this show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on 19 September 2007. Both artists were supporting their debut albums, McLaughlin with Indiana and Bareilles with Little Voice. Having already seen Sara B. once before, I knew what to expect. I bought her album and listened to it on repeat for the first couple of days. (As a matter of fact, her’s is an album that I still listen to over and over).
Jonny M. was exactly what I had expected. Having been paired up with Sara Bareilles, I knew he had to have a mellow, relaxed sound yet at the same time exhibit some sort of poppy hook. I’m surprised that he has flown under the radar for so long; I’m just waiting for him to blow up. in the same vein as John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band and Jack Johnson, McLaughlin makes for some kick-ass stoner tunes… not that I smoke the reefer. Just speculating. (I’ll submit to a drug test, people)!
