Unplugged at the Grove this week brought The Dedringers who were having their cd release party. I had never heard them so had no idea what to expect. From the sound check all I knew for sure is it would be loud. And so it was but also very good. Not sure how to describe them. They don't remind me of anybody. There seem to be 2 main guys who both write. They did a mix of shuffles, boogies, ballads & straight ahead rock. They were called back for an encore. When they came up John said this is not a familiar position for us so we don't have a song planned. They had a discussion & did a great version of the old Faces song Ooh La La.
Opening for The Dedringers was Dustin Welch & the House Band. He has a Texas voice, like he's got a throat full of dust, kind of like Ryan Bingham. The music was on the side of Texas Alt. Country, whatever that is. They were a good warm up.
Also on hand was James McMurtry who held up one end of the outside bar all night taking in the show.
