Andy's solo show at River City Tavern and Grill in Marietta

Andy played an early show at a new venue for him Friday night. River City Tavern and GRill (in the Comfort INn in Marietta; right off the interstate). This was a nice venue, and Andy seemed well received. There is a nice wide open feel to the place, and friendly staff. Danny says they are in discussion about using the very nice big wide open "lower" area for a full fledged Greens show this summer, moving some tables and making it nice and big for dancing and a good crowd. Maybe even something about blocking off some available guest rooms so folks can spend the night. This has some good prospects!
Andy was in great solo acoustic form for this two hour show, 7-9 pm. Despite the Friday afternoon happy hour atmosphere (lots of talking!) It seems he got good response throughout. He was in fine voice, and guitar licks were sharp- some hot harmonica work also!
Here is the set list:
Down
Cars and Horses
(then he took a very short "ribs" break!!!)
What a Ride!
Flippin'
Little Warrior
Come on back to me
5 card (forlorn) blues
Its not enough (restlessness?)
homeless melody
tide turn again
I'd ruther be in some dark holler
tonight I'll be staying here with you
when things go wrong (blues)
Lodi ( CCR song)
Angel from Montgomery
Will the Circle be Unbroken
Chinaski
a little instrumental ditty
Castles made of sand (Hendrix)
Tunesmith JOnes
(another very short break!)
Anon
10,000 Days
* a newer song, I couldn't capture...
* another newer song, I couldn't capture - this was when things were getting really loud across the bar- we were clear across the room!!!
Flip Side
Apple Pie
The Animal Song (animals with three syllables)
Vacuum Blues

Then Andy was loaded up quickly to head over to Marietta Brewing Company, for the main event!

A pretty good crowd, lots of "regulars" getting to see Andy in a different time and setting, and so that was a definite good thing.
