Drive By Truckers Go Go Boots Tour

[mjk73]

I might skip it. The douchbag hipster and brah level will be in the stratosphere that night. That idea of being surrounded by people who are there for the scene vs the tunes doesn't sound appealing. Plus it will be crowded. Not sure I really want to deal with a large crowd. I think I'm turning into an old man  :-\

Alright, I will very likely have a spare ticket to the Drive By Truckers show in Portland, ME at the State Theatre (site of the greatest MMJ show ever!), with Jessica Lea Mayfield opening.  You can have it.  Maybe just buy me a beer. 

Its Friday, Nov. 18.  I've tickets in hand.  Doors 6:30, show 7:30.

<  PM or email.

Sounds good to me, as I sport a quote from the film.

Hey, ALady, that your purty face I spy in between songs in a 2009 ep. of Austin City Limits with Drive-by Truckers?  Watching it for the first time tonight.

[MrWhippy]

Anyone else in for any of the DBT New Year's run at the 9:30 club in DC?  I'm definitely going the first night due to the double-bill with Lucero, and considering New Year's Eve as well.

I wish they would pull out something cool for New Years like a performance of Southern Rock Opera in its entierty.

i'll be there all 3 nights! i can't wait...and yeah, everyone's been hoping for years they'd do SRO in its entirety...when Patterson was asked about it last year, he just laughed and said probably not..

Ha, yeah, that's me.  I was so sick that day - you can see I'm clutching a Diet Pepsi instead of one of KLRU's complimentary Shiners.   ;D

I can't tell you how cool it is to watch stuff like ACL and Storytellers and see friends in the audience.  There was also epic Danz in that doc and aMD on Unstaged.  Adds to the fun to spot forum peeps.  Of course, I'd rather be there myself than watching it on the TV, but...

[ChiefOKONO]

Shona left the band!  WTF!!!!!!!!!?!!?!?!?

Wait, what? When? Penny, you know anything about this?

Can't say I'm bummed to never have to hear Dancing Ricky again.

Shonna's Statement

Hello friends,

Unfortunately, I come to you all with some sad news.

It's time for me to move on to the next great thing, whatever that may be.

I want to thank each and everyone of you, with my whole heart for your overwhelming kindness and support over the years. You are the greatest fans in the world! You really do amaze and inspire me. I can't express how much you all mean to me. Your rock solid encouragement has carried me through, many nights. I have been so lucky to have had the chance to meet and talk with so many of you. Your stories and passion are so incredibly inspirational to me.

I am, without a doubt, not done. I will have a website up and running very soon so that we can keep in touch. I have a whole lot left to say and do, and I can't wait to hear what all of you are up to. This is very difficult, so I'll leave you with this... for now...

Thank you all so much!

Safe travels and Happy Holidays to you all!

See you soon somewhere...

All my love,
Shonna

Can't say I'm bummed to never have to hear Dancing Ricky again.

Her statement is up on three dimes down. It's official.  I for one am sad. DBT carried on after Jason Isbell left and is still one of the best live bands out there. They will move on but I enjoyed her as part of their shows.  Tough for any singer, even a bass playing singer like Shona to be third behind Patterson and Cooley.

Wishing her the very best.

These are all good points.  I respected her for having the guts to write songs in that band as well, even if I didn't care for the songs too much. 

[johnnYYac]

Looks like my first DBT show was nearly her last, and will be the only show I see with her.   :(

[ManNamedTruth]

Damn that sucks, I thought her songs were definitely decent. Glad I decided to go see DBT a couple weeks ago.

Not so much "left"....

This is the truth.  I let out a squeak every time I saw Christine and Brooke on Storytellers!
