LIVE MUSIC

I've been to almost 300 live shows in my life- either worked them or as a fan and to me there is nothing better than listening to good live music. OK let's not kid ourselves, maybe there are a few other things, but it's defiantly in my top five :)

Thankfully, I live in a city that always has a tour stop for acts and a city that has many smaller live music venues. Last night, me and a few friends hit up one of those live music venues in The Troubadour to see Austin musician Bob Schneider.

Schneider is a very eclectic singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas who has several bands in addition to his solo work. Last night he was in Los Angeles promoting his new album Lovely Creatures.

Schneider, who's toured with Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow and the Dixie Chicks, is a very good live performer who understands his audience. He was there to expose his fans to the new material, but also to give them what they came for, so he started taking requests toward the end. That's the great thing about small live music venues, you get to see your favorite musicians up close and possibly get a chance to interact with them. Another solid Bob Schneider show is in the books.
