I know Sturgill is playing at Forecastle, and wouldn't be surprised if he's at Newport. However, Heather will hate me if I dragged her to see him at either.
So that seems the higher ranked of options in my mind. Normally I don't like going to shows during the work week, but it hasn't stopped me before. (Hell, I bought tickets this morning to a Rush show on a Tuesday.)
Hey y'all! I have two tickets to Sturgill Simpson's sold out Knoxville show. It might be whatever seats we can find since it's AC's guest list or we might be standing, who knows. Anyway, I don't want to take anyone with me that is not a fan. I would prefer for someone who's really into SS to have my other ticket. If you would like to go, let me know and you can be my plus 1!
Did you get on the list through fancorps? If so have you used the wristband system before? The reason I ask is I saw a note that wristbands were not available for sold out shows. Does this mean that if a show sells out after you request to be on the guest list your order gets canceled? The reason I'm asking is I redeemed for Sleater-Kinney in Nashville and would hate to drive 3 hours down there to find out my name isn't on the list and the show is sold out to add insult to injury. Thanks to anyone who has experience/can shed light on this predicament!
is there a general concert review thread? if not I'll make one
soo last night I saw zola jesus. to be honest, I mostly went because 1. I hadn't been to a show since november and I was desperate to see something and she was the only act I was semi-interested in that could break the streak and 2. one of my best friends from high school just moved here and I wanted to take her out and show her some fun times. so anyway, I went in with little-to-no expectations.
holy shit. gurl is an amazing performer. right off the bat she came out and belted out her first song (I have a shit memory for song titles, fyi) and then broke out into the most intense dance moves. her energy was just unreal and she owned the stage. I had a mouth-wide-open stare through the first song, she was just so impressive and you could feel her emotions. her backing band was really good as well - complete with a trombone player which totally nerded me out because I was a brass player in HS/middle school. (I don't play anymore but have a deep appreciation for brass instruments) and her voice. oh man. even better live than on record. and she sang a song a capella, no mic, and it gave me goosebumps.
all in all the show was completely captivating and she really deserves a lot of success. I definitely recommend seeing her if she comes through your city.

It really depends on the show and how much standing room they have. If the venue is close to capacity, even with the seats sold out, you will probably not be able to attend. Contact your community manager. I did get mine on via fancorps and requested them before it sold out but I was told that I might not get them. Turns out we did, but that doesn't always happen.
That was what I was afraid of but good info all the same. I'll make sure I contact someone to verify I will be able to get in a few days beforehand. Is it correct to assume then that canceled bracelets will refund the points spent to redeem them?
Greater Northampton folks! Anyone want to make some plans? I've been super busy at work, so I have been slacking on Inforoo/ venue stalking. I'm open for suggestions, but names over the next few months that I would be highly interested in: PHOX, Ben Sollee, Jesse Dee, Ballroom Thieves, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bela, Abigail & Rhiannon(!), Sturgill... I could go on. I did have a date to go to Greensky Bluegrass on February 4th, but recently got ditched, so I'll throw that on the table too
Also, Sufjan is playing in Hartford on April 12th (Mortenson Hall at the Bushnell) and tickets go on sale today.. hint hint. I also posted on FB about that one.
I'm definitely going to be at happiness and lady lamb, probably at george clinton just depends on if i actually go on vacation for my birthday and thinking about jon spencer and bela-abigail-rhiannon but i have to get up and 4am during the week so those are harder for me to do.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I'm going alone to the D.C. show (by choice - I have been waiting years and years to see Sufjan live, and I want one show where it is just me and no company as a distraction). Then also hopefully to the Philly show with a friend; the Friday show sold out, but a Thursday one was just added, so I'm gonna discuss with him later tonight.

Who all scored Sufjan tickets for his upcoming tour (for any of the cities he's going to, just curious about who all is hitting that up)?
I'll be doing Sufjan in Philly.
Also doing NMH in Wilmington if anyone wants to meet up.
The Friday show I assume? My friend and I logged on just after 10 am on regular ticket sale release day, and the line on the website kept booting us off, and then once we got on, all the tickets left were awful. "Obstructed view" seats ftw....
Bought presale for the DC one, luckily. Still didn't get a fantastic seat though. That shit was going like hotcakessssss.

Yup! I was grateful because I came really close to forgetting about it (a misfortune that has happened with the last two shows I wanted tickets for), but I set a phone reminder and was able to get in just in the nick of time.

Tickets are still available for the Columbus show. So hopefully at midnight (when my paycheck goes through) I'll be a def yes to this as well!
BOOM! Done. I got one ticket to the Columbus show for Sufjan Stevens & went ahead and got 2 tickets to the Columbus show for Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield doing Elliott Smith!!! (Hopefully my friend doesn't flake out on me for this one, and if she does hopefully I can get rid of the ticket easily)... Basically, I just spent my grocery money on concert tickets.
I'm going alone to the D.C. show (by choice - I have been waiting years and years to see Sufjan live, and I want one show where it is just me and no company as a distraction).

Ok, I couldn't get anyone to go with me, so I didn't get tickets before. You inspired me and I just checked it out to see if I can get a solo ticket, but it's third to last row. Debating...
And Monie- super jealous about your Jessica and Seth ticket. I want to see that so so bad, but their tour is so short. I can't get to NYC for that show and there are no other options in my area. Fingers crossed they stick with it a bit and maybe do a second tour- or maybe Newport!

I'm just happy that I'll actually have someone to go with! It's in March and at this rate it's the first show I'm not going to alone.
For any Columbus people:
I'll be at Cherub tonight Rusted Root and The Wailers on 2/29 Sylvan Esso 3/13 (I lied, this is the first show I won't be alone at) Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield 3/18 Sufjan Stevenas 4/18

You mean to the DC one? Buy it! Lol and maybe I can kick out whoever is next to me and claim you're my long lost sibling/lover/friend and we just HAVE to sit next to each other. I snagged a parquet spot, though it is pretty far back.

Haha no, he'll actually be in Hartford. I meant you inspired me to (maybe) go alone. In the future I will totally be your long lost sibling/lover/friend.

Ugh, shortest lived friendship ever!!!!
But srsly. Like a wise man Beck once said, Go it alone. Sufjan will be worth it; even with shitty seats, his voice carries amazingly well in live performances, from what I've seen in videos.
