[GG]

My son and daughter in law are all excited.   They have tickets and hotel room.   

However, my wife and I look at each other and ask.........................who is Munford and Sons?

Ha ha ha ha!

My daughter is excited her fiancé got tickets for the two of them. 

And yes, MC and I are "who is...?" just like you and yours.

We only knew who they were from seeing them on SNL. DH described them perfectly with "listening to their music is like riding a horse."  (trot, gallop, trot, gallop)

Oh thank Gawd I'm not alone in the Who is M&S?
Like most everyone. I love music. So when there is so much excitement about a upcoming event, and one that sells out so quickly. I'm thinking. What rock have I been hiding under and what am I missing?
So I went to youtube and looked up all the music videos they have. There are quite a few. Well with this many music videos there has to be a hit song that I have heard......Not a one.
And I'm sorry. I just don't get all the big hoopty over their style of music. But hey, to this day I don't understand all the Jimmy Buffet parrot heads out there selling out concerts for a two hit wonder

[Conan71]

Did I hear correctly they won album of the year at the Grammy's last night?

Yep and they made a big stink about some guy name Jack White. A dude that obviously only comes out at night. He must be a huge hit on 102.1 The Edge.
I won't bother searching his videos. Not from what I heard last night.

Jack White is the former lead singer of The White Stripes.  He has many, many side projects and is considered one of the best musicians (guitarists) of his generation.  You should check out "It Might Get Loud."  It is a documentary with White, The Edge & Jimmy Page.  Fantastic.  Last I checked it was on Netflix Instant.

[TylerBGoode]

I think he was being sarcastic.

Competition for artistic talent awards is a joke. There is no reason for this other than creating demand to sell more copies. It's an industry feed sack. Art should be non-competitive. Pay little attention to these events...but I must admit, I did tune into the live stream to watch John Fullbright's performance. I could care less if he had won. The fact he got nominated was enough recognition and well deserved for this artist from Guthrie.

I just checked Netflix. It's only available on DVD mailing. I may criticize performers after I first hear something from them. But one thing I will do. Is take advice from people who know about the artist and recommend that I watch or hear something from them. So thanks for telling me that. And I will look and see if I can find it another way.

I won't be going but to everyone who is going it should be a great show! All The best!

I enjoy his music.  I don't have the ability to go on a long detail about him and his talents but out of many things he's worked on I rarely find any of it lacking.

If you listened to 104.5, 97.5, or 106.9 from 1999 to 2010, you heard his work in the White Stripes.

He did a duet with Loretta Lynn.

He was a strong supporting character on Cold Mountain.

His work with other musicians made modern music better.

John Fullbright is from Okemah (Bearden to be more specific).
