Weathersfield, VT
Another crazy week of concert going. This fall Lyle Lovett has teamed up with good friend Robert Earl Keen for a six week tour that opened at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy NY on September 29.
Next stop on the tour was Merrill Auditorium in Portland, ME.
Saturday I was at the Lebanon Opera House for one of the best shows I've seen there, Lake Street Dive with Session Americana opening.
