Later Acoustic Alchemy recaps: October 2010, June 2012, November 2016
Earlier tonight, I attended Acoustic Alchemy’s concert at IMAC. I sat in the first row of the Center Right section’s odd number seats. The theater’s audio mixing board was a few feet ahead to my left.
The set list included:
“Get Up (Levantar y Bailar)”
“Jubilation”
“Jamaica Heartbeat”
“Out of Nowhere”
“Big Sky Country”
“Carlos the King”
“Ariane” (last song before intermission)
“Ernie”
“Tied Up with String”
“She Speaks American/English”
“Tuff Puzzle”
“Lazeez” (encore)
I took 129 pictures during the concert. Here are the ones that stood out:
Miles Gilderdale on acoustic guitar…
…and younger brother Greg Grainger on drums:
Miles and Greg C. in the final measure of “Lazeez”:
And the band taking a bow (or, at least, about to):
It was an excellent show!
Afterward, my friend Kat Sarracco took this picture:

This was my first Acoustic Alchemy concert, but I guarantee it won’t be the last.
6/29 UPDATE: Kat has added my pictures of Miles Gilderdale (on electric guitar) and Fred White to the 2008 Fan Photo Gallery on the official Acoustic Alchemy site.
7/14 UPDATE: My picture with the band is part of the recently added 2008 Fan Archive.
Awesome pictures–looks like it was a great concert!
