Sam and Matt

---

Last night I went to see Sam Ashworth and Matt Slocum at the Q Cafe. They played nearly all of the songs on Sam's new album and also "I Won't Stay Long", which Sam wrote for Sixpence None the Richer's self-titled album several years back. Matt's not sounding much like Sixpence anymore, he's playing the acoustic guitar and the dobro now instead of the electric guitar. His signature style is there though, and it's still solid music. I gave a listen to Sam's album last night after the show too and it's pretty good. Back to the show - Sam and Matt wound up opening because of another event that one of the girls from the intended opening act (vocal trio Late Tuesday) was at. Because of this, Sam and Matt played for about 45 minutes while their "opening act" played after them for another 45 minutes. Late Tuesday was alright but made a few embarassing mistakes. It's a good thing that in a small coffeehouse, we can just laugh that off. Good show otherwise though. Not one of the best I've seen but it was worth it to catch up with Sam and Matt and get some albums signed. I also got to meet up with a few people I know from the Over the Rhine orchard. I'll try to have a full review of this (and possibly even audio!) up sometime soon. I've been moving files over to the new server today and we should be fully up within the week. Oh, and here's a setlist for last night's Sam and Matt show:
