Dr. Rock's Music Adventures: The Southern Troubadours, Southern Theater, Columbus, Ohio 4/3/16

Joe Ely, Ruthie Foster, and Paul Thorn are touring as the Southern Troubadours. They are playing primarily acoustic shows with each artist taking turns playing their own material and covers.
Venue: Southern Theater. I was fortunate to sit in the center of the third row and had a great view of the stage. This venue always sounds great!
Merch: Each artist was selling some CDs and t shirts. Nice selection.
Joe Ely is an amazing artist who has been playing for years. He has many amazing songs, has played with Bruce Springsteen, and sings backup vocals on the Clash song "Should Stay or Should I Go". A lovely road-weary voice and a fine guitar player. Joe did a number of terrific songs and a cover of "You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone",
Ruthie Foster is a soulful folk rock artist with a powerful, gosple-strong voice. Ruthie did some recent material and a great cover of "Ring of Fire".
Paul Thorn is the son of a pentecostal preacher and also has a church-worthy strong voice. Paul had some funny stories about him playing "Three Times A Lady" at a middle school talent show and about a meth lab playing his stuff when the SWAT team knocked down their trailer door!
All three artists came out and signed autographs after the show while sitting in the lobby at a table. Thanks for signing ya'll!
