Thompson Square/Reckless Kelly Concert Recap - Cornstock 9/22/12

Last night in Garnett, Kansas the annual Cornstock festival was held.  The performers were Thompson Square, Reckless Kelly and local artist Travis Marvin.  The concert was held on a hill in the park...it was a very full and enthusiastic crowd.

First up was Travis Marvin....he seems to open for almost every concert in the area.  He is from Ottawa which is really close to Garnett.  He plays a mix of covers and original songs.


Here is one of those original songs, "My Woman's Man"...


Travis Marvin keeps touring the area and building his fan base...he has so many people there with his shirts and hats on...


Next up was Texas based Reckless Kelly...


They played some new songs from their upcoming album, here is "Good Luck and True Love"...


There was a funny thing about the set up the show...there was a drinking side and an under 21 side....the over 21 side was really into them and knew all the songs and the under 21 side seemed to be gone to meet Travis Marvin.  Kind of interesting...


Here is the newest single, "Pennsylvania Avenue"...


Next up was Thompson Square....where I had been standing all night, there really wasn't anyone around....right before they came on it got crazy!


Thompson Square kicked it off right...here is "Let's Fight"...


I have seen Thompson Square quite a few times...opening for Lady A, by themselves at PBR in KC, at CMA Fest....I just enjoy them because they have a sense of humor about their relationship and they really look like they enjoy performing together...


They have plenty of hits...here is one of them, "I Got You"...


Thompson Square has been around in Nashville for so long trying to breakthrough, it is good to see their hard work paying off...


Thompson Square is currently in the studio working on their sophomore album...here is a cut from it, "You Don't Get Lucky That Many Times"...


It is always fun to go to these concerts in small towns...it is a big deal and the town comes out to support the show and they are really into it...



I have lots of their songs already on YouTube so I was looking for a different one, here is "As Bad as it Gets"...



Thompson Square has a pretty impressive stage set up for being a pretty new act...they have not quite graduated to video screens but you can be sure that is coming!


And as a married couple they did a great cover of "Jackson"...



Overall, it was such a fun night.  The weather was perfect for early fall, the music was good and the crowd was so happy to be there.  If you have a chance to see Thompson Square, go for it!
