I have waited far too long to see Todd Snider live. He might be the best songwriter of our generation, and has long had a reputation as an incredible live musician who sprinkles his performances with brilliant storytelling. Thanks to the lack of a Houston date, I couldn’t miss last Friday’s show at the historic Gruene Hall - Texas’ Oldest Dancehall. On supporting duties were the inimitable Vince Herman, alongside his band Great American Taxi. We caught the tail end of their set, including a cover of the ubiquitous “Wagon Wheel” as well as Leadbelly’s “Ain’t No More Cane On The Brazos.” Read on for more about Todd Snider’s performance, including some great photos after the after the jump.
