The mop-headed Texan played a combination of old favorites and new cuts from his new country album Changing Horses. The inclusion of a pedal steel guitar on pretty much every song, non-country ones included, ensured a seamless flow of the material, even turning "Sundress" into a country shuffle.
Kweller was also full of stories. Relating tales about Oasis and talking about his absent guitar tech, and bantering with fan "Luke" who had attending his in-store earlier in the day, Kweller kept the audience in stiches for a good portion of the night.
The highlight of the performance was likely Kweller's playing piano and harmonica at the same time. It got quite the stir from the crowd.
The Watson Twins opened. It was a slow start as much for the crowd appeared disappointingly disinterested. Chandra and Leigh won them over by the end with tracks like "How Am I To Be" and their harmonica heavy rendition of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven".
In a fan friendly move the twins spent Kweller's entire set at the merch table chit chatting with fans. A classy touch.
Kweller and the Watsons provided a fun evening. It was a great example of everything a concert experience should be.
