Matt Nathanson - Great Concert

My wonderful wife got us tickets to Matt Nathanson’s concert at Center Stage in Atlanta last weekend. He ended the show with this Prince cover, as an 18th birthday present to a girl down front (to get her to stop requesting it, he had to promise earlier in the evening).

He’s an amazing live performer:

Gabe Dixon Band - Til You’re Gone

Sep.11, 2008 in Music 1 Comment

Alright, I think I’ve only posted music on my blog once before…but it’s my other great love and you may see me do it more often. I love Gabe Dixon…had a chance to see him as the opening act for Jamie Cullum at Chastain Park last summer and he is a talented guy in the vein of Paul McCartney/Billy Joel/Elton John…
