Brandi surprises us with a Tractor show

The Lone Below were suppose to be playing the Tractor Tavern Saturday night, but they had to cancel so Brandi filled in instead (she is friends of theirs and probably planned on being there anyway). Tickets sold out Thursday night in a matter of hours, and I’m lucky that I practically live on Facebook and heard about it at all!

The last time she played at the Tractor, was 3 years ago for a “secret show”. It was hot, it was sweaty, and was one of the funniest shows I had ever been too. This time was FREEZING as we waited in line in 22 degree temps (yea, I would only do that for Brandi). The show this time was just as great, with the band doing a “all request” show and slinging down Whiskey between the songs 🙂

Funny enough, the first time I had actually seen Brandi was back in……  2002? 2003? here at the Tractor. She and Tim opened up for Tegan and Sara here (Phil wasn’t even in the band yet). That’s crazy… where does time go?

My old trusty point and shoot camera died about a year ago, I’m still in grief about it. Sure it made pixelated photos with a ISO that only goes to 800… but I knew that thing like the back of my hand and knew exactly what it’s limitations where and how to compensate. It’s new replacement? not so much. It’s crappy and low light, and even more crappy in video mode. Boo…..   If I knew the videos would be so dark, I would have stayed zoomed out. Ah well, at least the audio is pretty good! (I linked in the setlist the videos that I took).
