More Great Live Music in Tucson

Yesterday friends won tickets to see an artist perform at a radio station. We couldn't join them because, you know, jobs. But, we looked up the guy and decided to go see him last night at Club Congress.

It was actually 3 guys for the price of one. First was Jason Reeves, who was surprisingly good. Usually the first guy in a three act performance isn't so hot, but he was great.

Next up was Keaton Simmons, also very good. Apparently Tucson was the first place one of his songs hit #1, so he loves Tucson. He seemed to be better known by the crowd than the headliner. He was really great live; I might prefer his live set to his recorded stuff, which I think is a great sign about how good a musician someone is.

Last up was the guy we went to see, Tyrone Wells. He was fantastic. His cover of "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" alone made the evening worth it.

They've got a lot of tour dates left, including stops in Boston and Chicago. Go see them.
