Turnpike Troubadours, Muscadine Bloodline, und The Creekers

Seeing a folk, bluegrass, country band in NYC is an experience. Its great to see how many fans of that music genre there are in NYC. As soon as I walked into The Gramercy Theatre, I didn't feel like I was in the city anymore. There were flannels, cowboy boots and lots of Bud heavy. All that a bluegrass concert should look like.
I recently came across the band by discovering them on Spotify, so going in I only knew about 2 songs but I left the concert with so many favorites. The Turnpike Troubadours played their hearts out beginning with their biggest and my personal favorite, Every Girl. The energy onstage was contagious especially when the opening band, American Aquarium joined them on stage for 2 songs, drinks in hand, and you could see the chemistry between them.
I'm not going to brag, but they claimed that this NYC concert was the best one so far. I mean, who can argue with NYC. If you are looking for raw songs written by real musicians with a southern heart, go see Turnpike Troubadours.

The sound was a bit blown out in the small space. Hurt my ears at times when it got super loud. I think it was mostly just the venue. They put on a great show though!
