River Rhythms (1983)
:)
Andy Grammer made his way through Oregon this week, and Thursday night, he stopped in Albany as part of the 32nd Annual River Rhythms concert series.
Since 1983, Albany has hosted this free concert at Monteith River Park in downtown Albany.
The last time I went was sometime between 1989 and 1991.
My how this little event has grown!
Attracting a wide variety of musical talents, there's literally something for everyone each week.
Yes, even for those fans that like Country and/or Western.
However, tonight we rock!
:)
Andy Grammer didn't disappoint as he hosted a lively set of about 20 tunes, and he even got the mellow blanket crowd in the front to stand up and dance around song # 4, and they remained on their feet for the rest of the performance.
He's lively, he's fun, and he's got an amazing band who has a blast on stage playing alongside Grammer, especially when he goes acoustic, and that lets the band have a little fun acting out the song beside him.
His hits are there, and the audience happily and enthusiastically joined in. He also does a great job on a couple of covers as well. The rest of the set are Grammer songs that his fans know and love, and kept new fans that might be unfamiliar with the songs enjoying the new music and having a great time.
A great concert and a beautiful night for it tonight.
Also a great first concert for a few of my kids who had never attended one before.
Final Grade: A!
