Mumford & Sons

Thanks to sean, who is much more savvy with the Craigslist, we saw them last minute and they were, as somebody commented on my old blog post about them, "magnificent."  They were down-to-earth, incredibly talented and they put on a wonderful show.  Although they did compliment the Asheville Civic Center a lot... which was bizarre because it is basically an overgrown high school gymnasium... bizarre but endearing.  I'm just glad they came here before the Fox Theater in Atlanta.  Jack and I were completely bowled over and so excited to see them continue to develop... we want to buy their shiny new album (legally) whenever it comes out and commit the opening chords to heart.

In the Wednesday Groove: Folk Duet in the Garden

This is Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling playing "Water."  I've listened to Marling before, and marveled at both her voice and songwriting talent, but this is new to me.  The two voices and buzzing garden are a perfect antidote to a cold Wednesday in November.  I'm really looking forward to watching both careers continue to blossom.
