Greek Bros

Sneaked down to our favorite Greek-run establishment in El Campo last night for dinner and music.

Originally, the twinbill was Bleu Edmonson and Radney Foster. For only $10!

I've been wanting to see both of those artists. Especially Radney, who is always at the Duck at an inconvenient time (and always for more $$$ than this).

Unfortunately, Bleu had to cancel at the last minute. Greek Bros pulled in Brandon Rhyder as a substitute opening band. That was terrible. We found ourselves wishing they had brought in the karaoke guy.

Radney Foster, however, was all that. His band is polished (two electric guitars! big sound) and Radney lets 'em play, Radney has a great stage presence, and the man can write songs.

We only made it through about half his set because we had forgotten our earplugs, and for some reason Greek Bros thinks they can make up for bad room acoustics (lots of reverb) by turning the volume way beyond comfortable. Stupid, really. Anyway, that drove us out of the place early. Must remember those earplugs next trip down there.

And Radney Foster is back to play Houston's Party on the Plaza next Thursday, with Randy Rogers opening. That should be a good twinbill.
