TURF Day 1: Band 6: Black Joe Lewis

I ended off the first day of TURF where I began - at the South Stage. Now, with the sun down, I checked out Austin's Black Joe Lewis and his band. What a perfect way to end the day. Up-beat, soulful tunes with one of my favourite things - a horn section.
I had been hearing about Black Joe Lewis for a few years now and had been really looking forward to their show. It did not disappoint. It's got the core elements of classic soul a la James Brown with gritty guitars and down to earth themes. An amazingly fun time. Those horns! That voice! That groove!
