Ingram Hill was in town this past Thursday... and of course, I went to see them. Although, truthfully, the fact that they were playing at Peachtree Tavern in Buckhead almost made me not go, because well, it's Buckhead. I HATE Buckhead, and I usually am not a very big fan of Buckhead people either. But I mean, seriously, I can't let Buckhead stop me from seeing my favorite band! And as it turns out, Peachtree Tavern is way less douchey on a Thursday than it is on the weekend.
So, yeah. Favorite band. Also pretty good show. As much as I like shows where I don't have to stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone, I wish for Ingram Hill's sake that more people had been there. I mean, the standing crowd was probably only 4 people deep, and that was when I was standing in the back of the "crowd". I think the only downer was that I had to go to the show alone. My two Ingram Hill buddies live just too far away to join me (St. Louis and Tampa), but on the bright side, in the last two days I have found two other people that not only have heard of Ingram Hill, but also that like their music. I find this exciting, because outside of people from Memphis or that went to UT, most people have never heard of them.
If you haven't heard their music, it is a fantastic mix, mostly southern rock. I compare it to Counting Crows and Sister Hazel, with a little Blues Traveler and a definite Elvis influence. I love them. Check it out. www.ingramhillmusic.com. Best Show EVER. Definitely the pick-me-up I needed this week :)
