Last night (June 23, 2013) I got to sub with ETA (Evansville Transit Authority) made up of Kyle, guitar/vox & Travis, drums/vox (both of whom I've been playing with in Soul Kingdom) and Adam, rhythm guitar/bg vox. I saw them play a set the night before in Newport, and it made me a little nervous. They're good, and very confident. Sitting in worked great, though, and as soon as we started playing my nerves were gone. They play more country than any band i've played in:

The crowd was older, with lots of relatives, and really willing to dance. Lots of fun. I wish I didn't have to look at the music so much. A drummer sat in for a while and made me really appreciate Travis' playing. The most notable parts to me were playing Runaround Sue (guest singer Harry Blake - ETA's backgrounds were awesome) and For What It's Worth (more rockin' than the original - made me wonder if someone has re-done it). They threw an extra chord into Gimme Three Steps that I'd never played- I'll have to re-listen to it. Jenny, Hush, You May be Right, Wagon Wheel were all really good too. Good night overall!
