I have already told you much about the Switchfoot concert I attended last Saturday. However, I still have one thing left to say, and it actually has nothing to do with Switchfoot.
Wilson Empire (also here) was Switchfoot's opening act. I don't think I can go without saying...that was probably the best opening band I've ever heard in my life. This is a very talented band from Atlanta, GA that I can see going far. They did 2 cover songs (U2 and the Cranberries) that were great (it takes a special lead singer to sing Bono, yet he pulled it off!) and they did several nice, easy going songs they wrote themselves, Including their radio hit, "Roah".
I looked at their schedule and noticed that they have 2 more gigs in Valdosta, both of which I'll try to attend (not sure if I'll be available for the September job, but I'll definitely be at Hildegard's Coffee shop to hear them in November.
Most opening acts I find obnoxious, probably because I'm in so much anticipation of the main attraction. However, Wilson Empire slowed me down and I very much enjoyed their opening gig with Switchfoot. If you aren't familiar with Wilson Empire's music I strongly recommend you at least give them a chance and listen to a few of their clips.
