re: Sturgill Simpson Wharf Show Cancelled

He said it was over three hours straight. It was a 3 hour straight jam band and reminded him of the Grateful Dead concert.

I looked at the set list and he played 16 cover songs out of 31

he's been on a heater lately. Listened to a few of his shows. Got a great band behind him

I've seen where he got into the dead late in life after playing with dead and co or whatever in Mexico. Jerry was a big bluegrass guy and sturgill loved it.


Dead stuff aside, Sturgill has always been a big Waylon guy and Waylon used to play long shows filled with covers.

Or they're charging too much. I just looked on ticketmaster and probably 1/4 of the seats are left open as of now for a show a little over a month out.

I bought 4 seats on presale for $575 and really had to convince myself it'd be worth it.

Ticket prices really are out of hand, these days.

When Sturgill played the Saengar in New Orleans in 2016, I paid about $50/ticket.

When I went to see Turnpike at The Wharf in 2023, I paid about $115/ticket.
