Spending a night on the Terrace is one of the best ways to pass an evening in Madison come Spring/Summer. Last night was no different, though the cold wind off Lake Mendota was making its presence known. I wouldn’t trade my frozen fingers to have missed last night’s show. It seems like Horse Feathers had become my concert going white whale. Each of their prior stops in the city, I’ve been elsewhere. I was also thrilled that I got to see Joe Pug for the first time. He sounds (and looks) like a young Dylan with his acoustic guitar and harmonica hung round his neck.
Seeing the show last night solidified my decision to put both Horse Feathers records, Words Are Dead (2006) and House With No Home (2008), on their respective year’s best of list. Check out the shots from Ed Oliver and please leave a comment with your thoughts/review of the show.
