If you were one of the lucky ones who caught Undertow Orchestra tonight, you know the power that this group yielded on that stage. The Brad P. Family Players opened the show to a silent and friendly crowd, putting on an outstanding performance. Not to be outdone, Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel, David Bazan, Will Johnson, and Scott Danbom took the stage and put in a two-hour performance that left people blissful throughout. Each artist performed songs they or their respective bands have made popular to a near-capacity crowd at the World Famous Hi-Tone. The seemingly unlikely casting of David Bazan as drummer and Vic Chesnutt on bass could not have been more special. David, unbeknownst to me, apparently played drums on each of the Pedro The Lion albums except for one of their EP’s. Vic confided to me that he never played bass before this tour. When I left, Mark Eitzel was holding down the bar with Marcus Battle (of Half-Acre Gunroom) having a friendly debate over philosophy that I really didn’t want to tear myself away from.
Memphis, I am proud to call you my home and I want to personally thank you for supporting all the great music that has been coming through the last few weeks. Now I have to sleep, I will be at work at 8am. How is this possible….
