Last night BF and I went to the Jeremy Fisher show (tickets were only $13 each, and I paid for them a while back). It was great. This was the 4th time I’ve seen him, and he just keeps on getting better. I’m surprised that BF enjoyed himself, because I didn’t think he’d be into quirky folksy music.
Some local girl named Hannah Georges opened. She wasn’t bad – a mix between Michelle Branch and Feist – but she wasn’t good enough for me to shell over $5 to buy her CD. The venue was completely sold out (and CBC Radio was recording the show to play on-air, and through Podcast). The crowd was a typical mix of older people (who are familiar with JF’s folksy banjo playing days), and young hipsters who wear scarves with t-shirts, skinny jeans, and converse flats.
After the show, we went to Subway and I bought us each 6-inch subs ($6.49 total).
Also, I have run into 2 free tickets to the Donavon Frankenreiter show in March. Very excited about that, because I didn’t think I’d be able to go see him. :) BF said he’d probably go with me, since nobody I know has ever heard of him before.
