Behold The Lamb Of God

Last night, for the sixth consecutive year, Kristin and I had the opportunity to go see Andrew Peterson’s “Behold The Lamb Of God” show at the Ryman in Downtown Nashville.  Obviously it’s become a yearly tradition for us and every year I am completely taken back by how amazing of a songwriter he is.  I can honestly say I don’t think there are many better writers out there making music today.  Anyway, I know I’ve blogged about it before, but I can’t say enough good things about this show.  It’s one of the dates with Kristin I look most forward to every year.

There were a couple new faces this year involved in the tour, but for the most part it was the same folks that it is every year.  I could give some eloquent ‘review’ of the show, but I don’t think it would do it justice.  If the tour ever comes even remotely close to where you are, it’d be in your best interest to go.  And continue to go year after year.

Here’s a song that Andrew played last night during the first half of the show that left every married couple in the room in a pile of mush.

Wednesday Night

Almost four months ago I got an email in my Inbox from Ticketmaster notifying me that Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, otherwise know as The Swell Season, would be at the historic Ryman Auditorium sometime near the end of September.  Being one of my top five albums of all time, it was time to start making plans.  The last show Kristin and I went to see there was Damien Rice and it blew us away.  I’m convinced that this Wednesday night won’t be much different.  

From what I can tell this will be one of only eleven shows that they are doing in America so we’re pretty excited to be able to see it.  Anyone out there seen Glen Hansard or The Swell Season before?  Any Nashville people planning on going?
