The Avett Brothers, last night at Crossroads KC

I suppose we should all be thankful that yesterday wasn’t as intensely hot as it has been recently. Still, the prospect of spending hours outside at Crossroads KC at Grinders seemed a bit grim. Thankfully, the Avett Brothers did us a bit of a favor last night and spared the audience having to sit through an opening act, jumping right into things at 8:30 p.m. with “Will You Come Again.” I don’t know what the capacity at Crossroads KC is, but even at the back of the venue there was little wiggle room. There would have to be no hula activity for the summer, hula hoop girls. There just wasn’t enough room.
