KV’s Been Good to Me Tour

The Sadies

Toronto country-rock openers. In 2022 the four-piece became a three-piece as the engine of the band Dallas Good died at 48. The band still rocks on. Upright bass, Gretsch guitar showing off fast licks.

Kurt Vile and The Violators

Listening to Ram Dass on the way to the KV show felt right. Kurt’s energy is so low-ego, he radiates letting-go to the crowd through his slacker unconcern. My mind was primed with thoughts of dropping the ego-world and entering the soul-world as the show started. Kurt’s entire vibe maintained those thoughts.
