Marcus and his phenomenal band played mostly originals and also broke out a few Allman Brothers covers. Marcus has been traveling the country and playing some international dates of recent. He also played the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam last week in Asheville. I have been seeing Marcus, when I lived in Asheville, since he was 16.

 Returning to the “Mother Church” of Americana where he had just received a Lifetime Achievement award the month before, Bob performed his “Campfire Tour” show to a sold out show of fans. 

This was the culmination of Bob's 2 day visit to Nashville. Night one was what will be for ever known as a legendary sit in with his “50^th Fare Thee Well” band mate Trey at the Phish show. The next day Bob shopped at Carter Vintage Guitars and picked up a Gretsch “Chet Atkins” model #6120. He also stopped in at the famous “clothier” to the stars, Manuel's, shop and picked out a custom blue cowboy shirt, both of which made an appearance at his Ryman Auditorium show that night.
