Shoot First - All Thumbs Trio
12.6.02 - Starr Hill Music Hall, Charlottesville VA
All Thumbs Trio was a three week side project for three great guitarists: Johnny Hickman from Cracker, Chuck Garvey from moe., and Gibb Droll. Three acoustic guitars, nothing else.
I am going to post a few songs from this show today, each one sung by a different member. First up is this moe. cover.
Graham and I caught Elvis Perkins in Dearland last night at the Outback Lodge, one of the few small venues left in Charlottesville (it seems like at least one small venue closes per year here). We missed the opening act, The Woes, but they joined Elvis Perkins in Dearland for several songs last night.
It had been almost 8 years since I’ve been to Outback Lodge, and I was pretty impressed with the turnout on a Monday night in a college town where all the students have left for the summer. The venue was smoke-free, which was another unexpected bonus.

The music was solid with most of the songs coming from their latest album. My only complaint, and it’s a minor one, is that they only played for about 75 minutes! I could have watched them for a couple more hours. They wrap up this current tour with a show tonight at Iota Cafe in Arlington, VA tonight and then the Bell House in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
