Wow, this show was amazing. It was held at Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield, but it meant that it was at a venue that had never hosted a concert before. This made things a little disorganized, but not that bad.
Willie and Lobo came out about an hour after we got there. They are a world beat-y type of duo, HIGHLY talented these folk are… you can visit their website at willieandlobo.com. They played for about an hour, and they had a lot of songs about gypsies. Happiness, then they had a meet and greet at the information desk.
Nanci Griffith was up next. She was absolutely amazing. She’s like taking Joni Mitchell’s lyrics, with Emmylou Harris‘s guitar, with Bonnie Raitt’s politicalness, with Stevie Nicks’s skirts and putting them all in one person. And then added a huge twist of coolness and individuality. She certainly gained a fan.
She played some songs I did know, some songs I didn’t and really made me get up and dance.
