Last Friday, June 7, Jeremy Cook, Nathan Ferrell, and I experienced one of the best and most immersive concert experiences I’ve ever seen. And that was Night 1 of the Shawnee Cave Revival outside Murphysboro, Illinois. Greensky Bluegrass, The Red Clay Strays, and Paul Thorn put on memorable shows. But the venue itself was just as much the star. Buried below a cave bluff is an amphitheater of natural beauty and supreme hospitality. You’ll hear about our experiences there and urge you to go to Shawnee Cave Amphitheater when you get the chance. This episode also features the following live performances from that night: 1 song from Paul Thorn: I Don’t Like Half The Folks I Love, 2 songs from The Red Clay Strays: Stone’s Throw and No One Else Like Me, and 3 songs from Greensky Bluegrass: Delta 88, Room Without A Roof, and the Grateful Dead classic Eyes Of The World. Immerse yourself. And enjoy.
