Last weekend I went to Groningen with Eva for a concert by EmmyLou Harris. We left rather early on Friday morning after dropping off the kids at school / daycare. Taking the train to Groningen was a breeze and we had plenty of time to chat on the way over. Unfortunately we couldn’t check into our regular hotel (Martini Hotel) yet. Instead we dropped off our luggage and went shopping.
After checking in later that day we went out for Mexican food and then went over to the concert hall for a great show. The show started with a few tracks by Kimmie Rhodes who had an excellent set. She even played some Townes van Zandt songs. After she left stage, EmmyLou came out with her new band. She played old songs and new, as well as some covers. I haven’t been able to find the tracklisting online yet, but I’ve heard songs by the country gentlemen, memphis bluegrass band, Gillian Welsh, Townes van Zandt and many more. She even sang a gospel song a capella, without amplification. Awesome!
