Hey everybody thanks for continuing to read my blog Music Reviews by a Musician.

My Experience at Ryan Bingham and The Dead Horses
Ok so last night I had the pleasure of attending the Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses concert in Des Moines with my fellow classmate/blogger/musician/good friend Grant Rodgers. The concert was moved from the original location of the Vaudeville Mews to People's Court due to a high volume of ticket sales.
Well let me just that I understand why. After last night's show all I can say is WOW!!! I have been a Bingham fan for a little while now but his concert in Des Moines last night was phenomenal. It was the first time in a long time that I have been in the audience at a live performance and have simply been blown away from start to finish.
For those who don't know who Ryan Bingham is shame on you because you should. He and his band The Dead Horses are very talented and their brand of alternative country/blues/rock is simply a joy to listen to. There are no frills and over produced garbage here; this is straight forward, in your face, rocking music.
There are definitely a lot of people who know Ryan Bingham. People's Court was jam packed last night and for some there enthusiasm got the best of them. Grant and I had the fortunate to be right at the front of the stage to watch Bingham and Co. but I had a few times where some drunk, over zealous hippie super fan literally tried forcing me out of my spot. However since I realized that a) the dude was drunk and or high and b) he was probably in his 60's and it wouldn't take much for my 275 frame to knock his block off; I put up with him and he eventually left so I could reclaim my spot. I figured if it was that important to him then he could stand there for a little bit.
However not to get too of topic I must once again say how great the concert was. Even the opening act Liam Gerner from Australia was phenomenal. He provided a great opening to the show and he even jammed on a couple songs with The Dead Horses to end his set.
This was definitely a great experience with my great friend Grant and if anyone reading this ever hears that Ryan Bingham is coming to town in the future; GET TICKETS!!!! His show is one that you do not want to miss if you can help it.
