A little over a week ago, I got the pleasure of catching Grayson Capps and The Lost Cause Minstrels for the first ever show as a band in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve had this one on my calendar for quite some time, as Grayson has long been one of my favorite songwriters.

The band exceeded expectations as they rolled their way through cuts from all of Grayson’s catalog. The night began as a more laid back acoustic based  show but as the night rolled on, the tempo picked up more and more until it was a balls to wall Rock n Roll show, which was exactly what I needed.

The Lost Cause Minstrels played perfectly behind Grayson especially guitar player Corky Hughes who not only played some mind blowing solos but has mastered the art of knowing when not to overplay. Highlights of the show included, a crowd sing along of “Poison”, “Washboard Lisa” and “Coconut Moonshine” among others.

Prior to the show Gayson and I had a chance to sit down and talk about his moving back to his home state of Alabama, the recording of the Willie Sugarcapps album (which was released today) and a bunch of other things.
