As promised, here is Friday night's Armchair Boogie set from Kenny's Westside.
Check out "Boogie Grass Band" and "Jail Cell," though the show-ending cluster pluck with Pert Near Sandstone was a lot of fun as well.

My audio recording of Armchair Boogie's show at Kenny's is now up on the Live Music Archive.
Highlight's were the homage to recently departed folk artist Michael Hurley and a new tune 'Never Waste a Day' which is sure to become a show set piece.

It’s our 44th wedding anniversary, so my wife and I arrived early for dinner at Kenny’s Westside before the #ArmchairBoogie show. Unfortunately, the dining area and bar were packed with Brooks and Dunn fans waiting for doors at the Civic Center. So we are in the stage area watching the band set up.
If you love American music, you gotta put seeing these guys at the top of your list! They're a hard-driving rocking new grass band from Madison that tours nationally. Steal your face right offa your head good! Likely coming to a town near you this summer!

The bad news is that due to illness, #ArmchairBoogie won't be appearing at Kenny's Westside Pub tonight.
The good news is we'ill get more music with #Arkansauce!
