We grabbed a few chairs, a cooler of nice cold drinks and met some friends out at the Levitt. The place was pretty well packed. At 8pm, Turnpike Troubadours came out on stage and it couldn’t have been more perfect for me. This is the music that I love listening to at outdoor shows. If you mix in some Southern Soul, Bluegrass, Country and some Americana roots music, you’ll get the Turnpike Troubadours. They put on a great show, coming on stage around 8pm and playing until 10-10:30pm.
I remember seeing him last fall at the music series at the Levitt. He brings his lasso out and teaches the kids how to lasso as well. It’s like as soon as he’s there the kids just come running, they all want to learn. Heck, I wanted to learn and Sy said “it’s just for the kids.” … I like to think he would’ve shown me, maybe next time. haha. I think I could just sit and watch him ring that lasso around for hours. Just one more thing I love about the South. It’s simple, it’s graceful, it’s the heritage and part of the way of life.
