Sheepdogs

Last night my friend and I traveled to Halifax to see "The Sheepdogs" perform.  Everyone I talk to say they've never heard of them, they are a great Canadian band, who have recently had some success, making it onto the cover of Rollingstone.  It was a sold out concert, standing room only, well there were no chairs.  That was a first for us, we perched ourselves on the balcony.  We had a great view, a people watching paradise.  Yukon Blonde, a Vancouver based band opened for them.  The Sheepdogs were true to form, CCR meets Lynyrd Skynyrd.  They totally looked the part, they are a bunch of hairy dudes!  We went wild when during the encore, Matt Mays jumped on stage to join in.  It was cool!!  We keep saying to ourselves that we are such lucky girls, this weekend we are staying close to home and enjoying some homegrown talent, The Hupman Brothers Band.  They have their CD release in Wolfville this Saturday.  It's so awesome to be surrounded by such talented people, right here where we live.  We are truly blessed!
