...Of Spirit of The West...i just saw him at a tiny little room called the Ashcroft Opera House..first off, great fucking venue..the sound in that room was stunning

as for the show..WOW..this guy can sing, and entertain..really funny dude, and just him and his guitar...the solo stuff was so good, and the SOTW songs..hairs stood up...breathtaking

if your'e ever around Ashcroft, check this place out

I highly recomend picking up "Mister Mann", Johns latest album

I used to be such a huge SOTW fan back in the day. I must have seen them live at least a dozen times over the years and they always kicked ass. John Mann is a terrific songwriter.

Venice is Sinking took on a whole new meaning hearing it slowed down and accoustic...honestly, there were moments during the show when I teared up
