It is completely unnatural how happy live music makes me, its a high that is indescribable to anyone who isn’t in to it. No matter what kind of day I am having or what is going on, put me in a room with someone playing some really good music and you can’t keep me from grinning. I grinned A LOT last night.
I first heard Brian Keane several months ago. {you may know him as ‘that guy who wrote “You Left Me For Jesus” with Hayes Carll, and he used to be with this ‘little’ band called The Band of Heathens} Shayne Hollinger spun one of his new tunes on The Vault called “Forbidden”. I immediately went in search of this song and couldn’t find it anywhere, so I downloaded another of Brian’s albums “I Ain’t Even Lonely” and put it on repeat while I continued to search. The new album “90 Miles An Hour” wasn’t available yet. So I did what any junkie would do and went to the source, creeping Brian on Facebook and messaging him with the “where can I find this song, I have to have it, please tell me its available” message. Within a couple of hours it was in my email box. Talk about make a fan for life! So then when the album came out, I bought it off iTunes the day it released and it is now a regular on repeat. So my buddy “Rita” and I were already planning on going to see Matt Wayne & Co. last night in Stephenville at Bostocks, but we got a bonus Brian Keane was playing across town before Matt went on, so we went to both shows. I will post Matt’s pics later, but we will start with Brian’s set.
almost all of the shots I got were edited in Black and White, City Limits has the worst lighting ever, which makes me soo sad because I really wanted some awesome shots. It wasn’t even the typical ‘all red’ lights, just bad lighting period. 
Brian’s wife is Rachel Loy, she plays Bass, sings, and is just an all around badass. Check out her site, listen to her music because its really good, I mean really good. Mean to Me and Stay are my favorites. They are one of those couples who are so in love with each other its written all over their faces. Too stinking cute, and Brian is so obviously proud of her. She will be playing with Charlie Worsham on the Taylor Swift Tour this summer, and thats not even the tip of the iceberg of the cool gigs she has lined up. Spend some time on her site and read her bio, it will blow you away. These have to be two of the nicest and most genuine people I have met in this ‘scene’. 
This shot is really dark, but I love it anyway. 
Thanks for the great music! Up Next – Matt Wayne & Company
