Josh Abbott Band joins Hudson Moore and Pat Green at the House of Blues!

Daylight savings and Sunday night didn't deter a rowdy crowd from enjoying some country music - Texas style.  Fort Worth native Hudson Moore opened the show sharing some of his new music off his EP.

Mostly fellow Texans, the Josh Abbott Band played a rocking set with their traditional country twang.  It was exciting to hear some of their songs off their new EP, "Tuesday Night".  

The band covered all the bases including having Pat Green join them for a "My Texas" duet.  The highlight of the show for me was seeing the full band live.  The band features lead singer and guitarist, and band namesake, Josh Abbott with Edward Villanueva on drums, Caleb Keeter on guitar and James Hertless on the bass.  Preston Wait's fiddle and Austin Davis' banjo come across more dynamically live than on the album.  The real difference between seeing the band live or listening to the album is, as Abbott told the crowd, "If you want to hear the three minute version, listen to the CD cause we want to jam".  And jam they did.  For me one of the most fun things about seeing JAB live is the way that they can bring back college memories of those laid back days when having $10 in your pocket was plenty for an entertaining night of beer and tacos.  The band is able to go seamlessly between raucous party and love songs.
