I've Got You in my Mind's Eye

Couple nights ago we went to see the Josh Ritter concert put on in the Knox United Church. Just the church alone was really neat to see, very interesting architecture.


We had been told by a music aficionado that the best place in the church to sit was in the balcony, so that's where we got tickets for. Except for the odd time when someone's head in front of us got in the way, we had a great view and the music was very clear.

Josh's concert was opened by an artist named Emm Gryner who seemed overly mad at the world, though was a phenomenal piano player and had a very lovely voice.


It's pretty hard to go wrong with the acoustics in a church and the several a capella songs sung were absolutely beautiful.



Josh himself came on stage by himself at first and did a solo song and then his band joined him. Amazing thing about Josh is he did the whole concert without one break, and didn't have any water on stage with him! Over all we feel this is probably one of the best concerts we have every been to (Kirstin didn't think about school the whole time!).






Coincidentally, we sat right beside Kirstin's friend from grad school. She made it into the picture we took of ourselves.


The only downside of the concert was that whereas we thought it started at seven and consequentially arrived at six thirty to get our seats, the doors opened at seven, and the concert started at eight. This gave Brent opportunity to get some interesting shots of the building from the outside (and a few other things). Truly a gorgeous building.
