A couple of days after my last concert, I decided to spend some quality time with my friends in Seasons After at their first Minnesota show in about three months, this time at GB Leighton's Pickle Park in Fridley.
I got to the show in time to catch up with singer Tony Housh and guitarist Christ Dawson at the bar before the music started and got to hear more about their upcoming tour dates and new music they've been working on. I've been supporting these guys and endorsing them on social media for a while now, and when you're on a first-name basis with the band members, it tells you that you've done something right. I know the guys really appreciate all the support their friends have given them.
The first act of the evening was the local band Strange Forest. They were somewhat reminiscent of Alice in Chains and the Screaming Trees. The small crowd was starting to get into the music just as their set was drawing to a close. I'd never heard of them, but I'm glad they had plenty of original music to play.
Despite the tiny crowd, my friends and I still had a great time at the show. Tony, Chris, bassist Kyle Ebert and guitarist Jim Beattie (with Dan from the band Red still filling in for regular drummer Tim Rails) did their best to entertain the crowd with hits from their first two albums. I'm happy that the current single "Weathered and Worn" is getting some decent airplay and is finally starting to climb the rock charts.
Before I knew it, the show was over. With energy levels still up, my friends and I chatted with the guys in Seasons After and encouraged them on their upcoming tour. If you get a chance, catch these guys on tour with Otherwise and Like A Storm in a city near you. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
