Hey Megan,we got to see Kathleen Edwards perform last night at Uncle Pleasants.Man she really ROCKED!Her band is so good.She really kicks it up a notch for her live shows.Very funny and personable stage presence.It was a pretty full house and everyone loved it.The opening act you would really like.Her name is Mary Gauthier.Great folk songwriter in the style of John Prine or even Lucinda.She performed as a duo with her playing guitar and a friend playing lead guitar.He had an amazing style to his playing. It was too much fun!

YEAH!!!  I'm so glad you had fun!

Yeah, she's a very kick ass performer.  Did you like Colin Cripps' playing?  I like him.  Was her keyboardist there?  Did she talk about Europe?

That's cool about this Mary Gauthier.  Now, I'm trying to remember why I know about her.  (maybe hellaciousc told me about her?)

Anyhow, rock it up!!  (Do you have her record?)

I just checked her site, and it looks like maybe MMJ were at that show, too.  How nice!

Also, holy crap, she's playing with Willie Nelson in July!!  Way to go Kathleen Edwards.

Yeah Colin is too cool and a great musician.I take it they must be item with the she looks at him when he's playing.Jim Bryson was on the keys and played some guitar.He also played an xylophone at times.Not too much talk about europe that I cam remember.Mary Gauthier has song called "Mercy Now" that they have been playing on the radio here.I did buy her album. You can check out her website at www.marygauthier.com.  With her folk sensibilities her style might not be for everybody but I think she's pretty cool.

Thanks Tony!

(Kathleen and Colin are married :))

She sure didn't mention that little tidbit when she introduced him to the crowd.She just had the look of love in her eyes just to watch him play.We knew something was up when she introduced him and some lady shouted about how cute he was and she said"Back off Bitch!" which just cracked everyone up.She was teasing of course but funny.

Excuse me for chiming in here but....We just got to see Kathleen Edwards last night as well and I echo your sentiments! I was not prepared for the rockin' show that it was....she not only has a great voice, she put together a 1st rate band! She packed the place in on a Wednesday night. She made a nice comment about being in Louisville the night before and really liking it..'despite the skunky weed' that made her fall asleep early!

Mary Gautier was quite haunting, we were really moved by her.

Very, very impressed with this show!!
But seein you feels good, and its always understood.
That anything much sweeter would make me die.

Mary Gautier is cool ..she supported Willie Nelson a couple of months ago when i see him. We had a word after the show and she was a real nice lady...signed a cd etc. You should definitely check her out.
