Last night Candace, Aileen and I saw Griffin House at Schuba's and holy moses - what an incredible show. This guy is just fantastic - very Southern roots alt-rock, country - and puts on a wonderful live show. In fact, his album does not convey nearly the amount of awesomeness that his live show did. Still, great stuff. Can't remember the last time I got that into a show (well, Friday night at Beat Kitchen, but Scott and I love and know Dick Prall, which reminds me that Starbucks is going to be playing his song, "The Cornflakes Song" in their stores, and it's awesome and when you hear it, you'll immediately want to dance, and then you should buy the album because, again, it's awesome. And because Dick is probably the nicest guy in the world and deserves the success.). At least a show of an artist I'm not at all familiar with.

Highly recommend Griffiin House. Even moreso if you can catch him live. Pray he plays the not-yet-released song "Colleen." That song was my favorite.
