Concert Review: The Poosta Ramblers

poosta ramblersI have been waiting all season for the next Poosta Ramblers concert, and they did not disappoint. They make it look and sound so easy and smoot, you would never know that the busy members only managed one full practice together before the gig. Somewhat surprisingly the house was already packed almost to capacity by 7:30. It was also of note that some new mothers, Lisa and Evi, made a special effort to find babysitters and make it to the show. Emily Weedon's 2.5 year old Ginger showed us all how to do the Aztek 2-step and clap properly, and Ginger felt that her clapping also deserved applause! Some of the highlights included: "Fallin' and Flyin'," "Good Year for the Roses," "More Pretty Girls Than One," "Come on up to the House," "Don't Come Home a-Drinkin'," "Toothbrush" and "Y'All Come."

You can catch them next on Friday, December 2nd at 9:00 PM Szabad az A
Nagy Diófa utca 8, 1074 Budapest.

Because of the American Thanksgiving holiday, the next concert at Treehugger Dan's will be this Tuesday. Boll Weevil Folk Blues Gang.
