Alice in Chains has some really really powerful, raw songs. The opening riffs on the Jar of Flies albums gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. And it's hard to not feel a little emotional listening to Nutshell. Rooster is written about Jerry Cantrell's father who was a Vietnam veteran...

My wife LOVES Frank Turner ever since we saw him open for Jason Isbell. I'm not a huge fan of his music, but he is great live. The Interrupters are awesome as well, my wife became a fan of them when we saw them open for Frank.

Glad what I typed made sense! It's a fun job. I'm lucky to be where I am, but it sure took a lot of hard work and time.
