My Morning Jacket & Gary Clark Jr. at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD on 7/14/17
In another impressive show for Merriweather Post Pavilion’s 50th anniversary, My Morning Jacket with special guest Gary Clark Jr., came to play for the dedicated fans that were ready to kick off the weekend despite the hot temperatures. Friday was a hazy summer day at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD but that didn’t stop the fans from piling in early so they didn’t miss the epic performance by Gary Clark Jr.
Gary Clark Jr., took the stage to a packed pit screaming for his impressive guitar riffs and solos. Clark showed why some people are referring to him as today’s Jimi Hendrix. The magnificent line up would seem like he would have been the headliner but My Morning Jacket wrapped up the night with an incredible 2 ½ hour set. The mix of beautiful lights with Jim James vocals and guitar playing brought the night to a perfect end which added another one in the books for the historic venue.
Capital City Jazz Fest at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD on 6/2/17
The Capital City Jazz Fest is a highly anticipated show every year in Columbia, MD. This year it celebrated it’s 25th anniversary while the venue celebrates it’s 50th.
Day one was originally supposed to have Robin Thicke as support for the legendary R&B singer Charlie Wilson but due to Thicke being detained by immigration officials while traveling in Asia, he was not permitted to return to the U.S. Instead Faith Evans was brought in as the replacement and the show went on without delay. Evans put on a stunning performance which had an appearance by Lil Cease who is on Evans’s new album called The King & I which features vocals by The Notorious B.I.G. Charlie Wilson took the stage later in the night to headline the kickoff concert for the festival and he didn’t disappoint.
The high energy performance had the whole venue out of their seats dancing to his popular songs while being encouraged by the team of talented back up dancers dressed in brightly colored outfits. The Capital City Jazz Fest will continue through the weekend featuring some of Jazz and R&B’s biggest names.
