John Moreland @ The Birchmere on 3/26

John Robert Moreland (born June 22, 1985) is an American singer-songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Largely self-performed and self-produced, Moreland produces music that is influenced by his Oklahoma roots, music that is "gloriously and joyfully heartbreaking." Moreland has released a constant stream of records (in 2011 he released two full length albums and two EPs), saying "I write a lot of songs. And I guess I feel like your most recent release kind of represents you." Moreland has cited Steve Earle as his "gateway" to folk music. He switched genres from hardcore to folk when he heard Earle's song "Rich Man's War". His father was also a big Earle fan. Other influences were Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt.

Moreland runs his own mail order business and ships his own records (packing the records, taking them to the post office himself) because all of his favorite labels (Ebullition Records, Level Plane Records, Dischord Records) used that method.

He is characterized as a songwriter's songwriter. American television host and political commentator Rachel Maddow tweeted praise of Moreland's work: "If the American music business made any sense, guys like John Moreland would be household names." Moreland posits that Maddow probably saw him opening for Lucero, a band Maddow likes. Moreland jokes that her remark was "the first time his dad has agreed with Rachel Maddow."

Don't sleep on the songwriting genes of co-headliner(?) James Mcmurtry

DC is like days 5 and 6 of the tour.  He'll be so ragged by the end, he may very well sound like Dylan.


I guess he did the math and figured $300 million should last him to the end.

Finally. Lynyrd has been an empty shell of its former self longer than most touring "southern rock" bands have been around.
