 The historic Hatch Show Print Company had a limited edition run of show prints made for the occasion. We snagged the yellow one on the right to add to our collection. |

| The North London quartet took stage around 9:30 after two impressive opening acts. The Nashville-based band The Apache Relay was first up and we really enjoyed their energy and sound. The band, Dawes, followed with a solid set. We had seen them before when they opened for Brett Dennen at The Cannery last year. In the video below we got an additional treat when Jerry Douglas and his dobro(who we had just missed at Bluegrass Underground - see previous blog entry) joined the boys on stage for an excellent cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" as well as M&S's own beautiful song "Awake My Soul." |

| This was easily agreed upon by us to be one of the best-sounding shows we have ever seen at The Ryman (and there have been plenty). The crowd was enthusiastic and appreciative of not only the songs they all knew by heart off the band's brilliant debut album, Sigh No More, but also of several new songs that will hopefully make it onto their much anticipated second album. Some of which is probably being recorded here in Nashville. Our folding-chair seats behind the last row in the balcony were a perfect vantage point. Photo copyright Steve Lowy 2011 |
