NSN Diana DiGarmo; The Gourds 1-25-09

This was a night of great southern alternative country-rock. First up was Alabama-born Diana DiGarmo, famously the runner up on season 3 of American Idol, and who filmed CMT's "Gone Country" series in 2007. Now relocated to Nashville, she's released an EP called "Unplugged In Nashville" and is working on a new album for 2009. We got a preview tonight:

Pause
Find Me
Pieces
Yesterday's Makeup
Growing Pains
Thank You
I'm Gone
Like I'm Not Even Here

Then we got some good-time, honky-tonkin' alt-country from The Gourds. Out of Austin, TX, they're perennial favorites at the South-By-Southwest festival and have a new album called "Haymaker." Their set:

Country Love
Lower 48
New Dues
Luddite Juice
Blanket Show
Honeysuckle
All The Way To Jericho
