Hayes Carll was fantastic last night, he is a guy who you can tell just loves music and the stage.
One thing I did find odd was the attendance at the show. I tried to buy individual tickets a couple of weeks ago and it said the show was sold out, but Theatre Grand was only about 70% full during the whole performance. I assume they only sell so many individual tickets and reserve the rest of the seats for those people with wrist bands. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, he didn’t seem to mind. I did feel a bit bad for Jolie Holland however. By the time she hit the stage at 9:30 most of the people who were there for Hayes had left. I’d say there was maybe 50 people in the place by the time she finished her set. It was pretty obvious she was annoyed by this, making a few comments in between songs.
