The Most Incredible Acoustic Guitar Show I’ve Ever Witnessed

May 8th, 2010 Jimmy J. Stage No comments

I went to the most exciting party the other night. I didn’t plan to, but one thing just kind of led to another, the way things usually do. It all started when I was sitting at home, watching TV. My two friends came bursting in unexpectedly, and told me I was going with them. I had not choice but to comply.

Next thing I know we were in my friends Ford Mustang screaming down the freeway at about eighty miles an hour. My friends all seemed to be really excited. They kept playing all these guitar bands on the CD player, as they said it would get us into the mood. At that time, I wasn’t sure where we were going, or what we were trying to get in the mood for.

We showed up at this abandoned barn. There were about fifty cars already there. We found a place to park and made our way across this old corn field to this barn that had obviously seen better days. When we walked inside, I was amazed beyond belief.

The inside was immaculate, like you’d expect of club downtown New York or something. They had black shiny paint on all the walls, a couple of bars in the corners, and these really impressive pictures hanging in the corners. Up in front was a stage.

Then, suddenly, without warning, this band shows up on stage, and starts playing the most incredible music I’ve ever heard. It was a cross between modern rock and country. The lead singer, who also played the acoustic guitar, played some exceptional solos that would give Jimmy Page a run for his money. After about three hours, they decided to call it quits.

After about two hours of just pure jamming, the band thanked everybody and left. But not before announcing that their very first CD was going on sale in about two weeks. The entire concert was free, as they were completely happy that they had just signed their first recording contract. After that, my friends took me back home. It was an incredible night.
