Lori McKenna Now; Trisha Yearwood at 9

It's a beautiful night - come out and see some country music at Wolf Trap! In all honesty, the only real options for country in the area are Wolf Trap, and Nissan, and after the Radiohead fiasco, I think we've learned that a Nissan excursion can be a frustrating experience, unless it presents something like, well...Radiohead, and other shows that are blatant must-sees. In addition to Trisha, Wolf Trap's summer country lineup features Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby performing selections from their self-titled collaborative 2007 release, Emmylou Harris (new album dropped yesterday!,) Lyle Lovett, Kenny Rogers & The Oak Ridge Boys, and renegade country gal Gretchen Wilson. Solid lineup. I had hoped for some crowd and performance video during Trisha's set tonight, but the two batteries I have for our Mpeg4 camera are totally shot, so upon purchasing new ones, the video content will begin.

In the meantime, I've posted some photos of our Swamp Romp this past Sunday. If you were there, these colorful photos should help you relive your Louisiana experience.

Jessica Cash with WFLS just introduced Lori McKenna, and she's now about halfway into her first song so we'll see how she does in her Wolf Trap debut. Should be a great night. Talk soon.
