Those of you that know me know that I will obsess over
my favorite song. Back in middle school I sang the song Boondocks by Little Bigtown so often that my brother tried bribing me to stop. Last
year, I happened upon a Grace Potter and the Nocturnals song and have been
trying to find a concert to go to ever since. This year I found one; a concert happening in Burlington, Vermont. I immediately bought tickets!
It was an amazing show. Not only did I see Grace Potter, but
the opening act was a great surprise! As soon as the Carolina Chocolate Drops
took the stage I knew they were going to be awesome. They had no backup singers,
but the lead singer’s voice felt bigger than a prewar big band. They played a
combination of New Orleans bluesgrass, hip hop and even celtic jigs. In the
middle of one of their best songs, the lead singer turned around and pulled out
a kazoo and played it like a sax! It was a really fun band to see and
might even become my next musical obsession.
After an amazing opener, Grace Potter came out under the
setting sky. It was as good as I could have hoped, and after 5 songs or so, the
wind started picking up. By the time of their finale, Paris, a full blown storm
had arrived. Grace Potter said, “I’m not on anything right now, but this is psychedelic!”
Rock on!
