While this entry was titled for Atlas Genius (being the headliner and all) the real reason I attended this show was for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. I actually thought these guys would be the middle act, but turns out they opened the show! Of course they performed like it was the end of the night and they were the headliner - a testament to this band. I can't wait for the new album, and another (extended) tour stop for these Detroit natives.
Next up was Family of the Year, who I'd seen before - twiceactually. This time they really ramped up their sound and brought it to the level of their stage-mates this night. More rock and less folk. I'd actually see them again…
So in preparation for this show, I started checking out Atlas Genius and slowly warmed to the album. I like it! I can't say it immediately bowled me over - and I could say the same about their live show. The beauty of not being captivated by it though was getting to leave a little early. No offense guys.
