When you hear certain concert announcements, do you get so excited that you want time to pass just so that one show will be here sooner? I mean, obviously, in the past three months, I've seen some amazing shows, but that doesn't make me any less excited for Sunday night's show at the Belly Up with co-headliners Dawes and Blitzen Trapper. Both bands are phenomenal live acts, and both bands have recent new releases that should have fans of either or both especially excited for this fantastic double bill.
