(above photo by me :) i was so close)
on march 25th i got an interesting text from my best pal, danci. she said "hey do you want to be spontaneous and go to the todd snider concert tonight at the granada?" i quickly replied with a "hells yes i do :)" so danci, our good bud chase, and myself made the journey from paris to dallas to witness the "storyteller" in action and it was incredible!!
todd snider is a folk singer with a unique twist, he pretty much just tells awesome stories with music to back it up. he describes himself in one of his songs as a "tree huggin’, peace lovin’, pot smokin’, porn watchin’ lazy ass hippie"but he forgot to mention amazing songwriter.
we got there fairly early, so we scored good standing spots, front and center.
everyone should definitely give him a listen, but make sure you have your open-mind cap on before you do. he is very opinionated, but he calls it like he sees it. he isn't afraid to say how he feels, and i admire that.
songs i recommend are below
tension
sideshow blues
play a train song
ballad of the kingsmen
east nashville skyline
money, compliments, publicity
i can't complain
doublewide blues
conservative, christian, right-wing republican, straight, white, american males
ladies and gentlemen
lonely girl
statistician's blues
easy money
the story of the devil's backbone tavern
the devils backbone tavern
i spoke as a child
and there are many, many more
