Sturgill Simpson

[subinai]

he was also on Joe Rogan's pod.  Great convo...long, 3 hours.  He said he's only doing 5 albums and he's got them mapped out

that was a great podcast. it was my first time listening the series. really enjoyed the DMT talk.

Saw Sturgill at the Bluebird in Denver last night and WOW, he is good! The man has soul. I couldn't recommend him more. The time to see him is now. The Bluebird ended up adding last night after the first night sold out and last night sold out as well. Tickets were $15 at the box office and then were $135 on stubhub. If you don't have his albums, get them now. I like both equally.

Sturgill is our house's Artist of the Year for sure.  We're seeing him in a small club next February.  Pro Tip if you have a special lady in your life: at home, put on The Promise from Metamodern and slow dance.

dude is $$$$$$$

yeah, the hype right now for Sturgill is huge.  All these small venues are selling out and lots of forum folk across the country have been shutout, including me here in Phoenix last month.  those of you seeing him in the clubs are scoring, that is for sure.

FYI, there is already a thread on Sturgill going here.  http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,18416.msg349197.html#msg349197

bumping the first thread.

Thanks. I scrolled a little, but not that far before making my post. And yeah, felt VERY lucky to have gotten to see him in such a small venue.

That cover is what made me love SS.

Listening to samples on iTunes right now.  All I can say is...WOW!  I HATE country music, but this is just good stuff!  I think my roommate, who lives for country music, will also enjoy this.

It's what country music is supposed to be. I read somewhere that Waylon Jennig's son (I think it was Shooter) said Sturgill is the closest thing he's ever heard to his dad. True outlaw country!

If any one has an extra tix to the Boston show let me know. Bummed its sold out

[bigloop]

If anyone has a second extra for the Boston show, I'd be grateful.  Thanks.

Very very excited to be seeing him in February in Philly!     I have ALady to thank for discovering him. Her post on facebook a few months back mentioned the "cosmic american" theme, and I had to click + have been hooked ever since.  Wish I had a ticket for the Asheville show, but it would be tricky to make it to both at this point!  Can't wait!

Eriiiiic!!!!   

Sadly, I will not.     I am not a super happy camper about the choice of lead guitar      A sad state of affairs, but geez I'm sorry to miss you!!!  I hope to see you sooner than later, please!!!

so incredibly bummed about the recent show cancellations. I hate that he & the band are sick, but to cancel the show and then announce the "make up" show is at a venue that is 10x the originals size is not cool IMO.  Not to mention, he's listed as the opener for OCMS at that date. 

It just seems like they took advantage of a bad situation to rebook at larger venues for more $$$.  I know a band's got a right to make a buck, doesn't mean I can't be bummed about missing them play a 350 seat venue.

well, looks like I will get to see Sturgill in Norfolk this year.  So stoked, it's not a tiny venue like the Broadberry but its a decent one that is about 1500.

Have some friends who flew out to see him and the Avetts at Red Rocks tonight.

Gotta say that Metamodern record is timeless. Been listening to again for the past couple of days and wow.
