Andrew Grimm November 14, 2015 Tree Bar Columbus, Ohio

I found out Friday afternoon that Andrew Grimm, leader of the mighty June Star, was doing a solo acoustic opening set the very next nigh at the Tree Bar. Naturally I shifted my plans around to attend. I've not seen him solo acoustic, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew it would be good. It was a nice surprise to hear "Gone" and "Local 48", two of his tunes that I hadn't heard live. Another nice surprise was a new, yet to be recorded song, "You're Still Here". Finally, "Pope of Mexico" blended smoothly into Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". Man I wanted to hear more, but that was it- there were three more bands to play and I had to get on with my original plans. Check out June Star, in whatever derivation, any chance you get.
