I had the chance to catch Brent Cobb\u2019s A Night Of Fine Acoustic Country Music Tour this past Wednesday night February 26th, 2020 in Atlanta, GA at Terminal West.  Brent Cobb actually had two shows this evening due to the initial show selling out quickly. These were duo shows featuring Brent on acoustic guitar and his regular guitar player Mike Harris on electric.  It was set up like the two were on their own front porch picking songs and hanging out with a few hundred friends. The opening act for this tour is Maddie Medley. I didn\u2019t have much experience with her music before the show.  She only has one song out on Spotify with the promise of more to come soon. She played the same set both shows so I will cover her music once.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maddie Medley was a solo act for these shows with an electric guitar.  Her voice is deep and rich and her songs are very personal. A stand out was \u201cEdith\u201d which she says is about if she has a daughter.  She sings about the things she would teach her future daughter about and how she would raise her in this world. The song she ended with was \u201cComing Of Age\u201d which is the song you can hear on Spotify.  It\u2019s a bit more upbeat than the rest of her set, but still a very personal song that looks inward. I hope to be able to hear more of her music in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brent Cobb\u2019s set began shortly after Maddie Medley\u2019s set and you could tell it was going to be a fun evening from the start.  It was a very loose affair and the first show of the evening even had no set list. He kicked things off with a brand new song called \u201cKeep \u2018Em On Their Toes\u201d which you can hear a snippet of in a video from the recording sessions of his next album on Twitter.  From there he got into a couple of songs from his last new album with \u201cMornin\u2019s Gonna Come\u201d and \u201cSucker For A Good Time\u201d. Mike Harris was a great accompaniment for this set as he made the smooth songs still slow and smooth and the rocking songs still rocked out.  I particularly enjoyed hearing \u201cSolving Problems\u201d in this setting and the story that went along with it. Brent did another new song called \u201cShut Up And Sing\u201d which I got a video of. It\u2019s got a great message to it and I hope lots of folks hear it. After a rousing rendition of \u201cDigging Holes\u201d, Brent got a request from the crowd for \u201cOld Shit\u201d which is a song he wrote that Miranda Lambert recorded.  It was great hearing his version of this song and it\u2019s refreshing to see an artist take requests in a setting like this as long as the audience is respectful about it.<\/span><\/p>\n
