A Taste of... Augustana & Counting Crows

We were excited to go out and actually see the Counting Crows live - if only to watch the bouncing dreads of Adam Duritz in person and marvel at their plasticine uniformity.
We left the Taste concert Saturday night excited about something entirely well. Musical: Muddy Waters, covered live by California-based band Augustana. While they're not likely to give up cashing in on their catalog of grungy tour-pretty boy-emo music ("Boston," "Sweet and Low") for a white boy take on poverty-driven, soulful blues - the jams did at least give 'em some musical street cred.
