So my friend, Adam, asked if I’d like a spare ticket he had to this concert. I listened to some of Josh’s recordings on his website, and he didn’t seem so bad (I’m a sucker for doing anything on a weeknight) so I was in. Boy oh boy what a mistake. This was far and away the worst concert I had ever been to. Josh, who is the whitest of white, has now teamed up with a full band for some white-boy hip-hop, funk, bluesy crap that reminds me of a shittier Maroon 5. Think of a pansy John Mayer singing “Shout,” having the crowd wave their arms back and forth in NKOTB fashion and you’ve got the idea. Awful. This is a sad case of a guy becoming popular, getting signed by a big label, and being tranformed in to a pop-clone. I think I put it best when I told Adam “Josh Kelley gives me gas.” We left laughing and wishing for a refund.<br/><br/>On a good note, Josh’s opener, <a href=”http://www.shanehines.com/” target=”_blank”>Shane Hines</a>, was pretty good and I ended up buying his album on the way out.
