Wild Sweet Orange

If truly great music was a kingdom, Wild Sweet Orange would be the royal family and Preston Lovinggood would be king.

I had the chance to go up to Charlotte Tuesday night and see WSO perform live. If you EVER have the opportunity to go see them live, do YOURSELF a favor and GO. There new album, We Have Cause to be Uneasy is fantastic; GO BUY IT, but nothing compares to seeing them play in person. Their passion and energy is contagious and I promise you will never see them “phone it in.”

Preston and I met in college. We went to/interned at the same church. I had never met, nor will I ever meet, someone as unique and flat-out genuine as Preston. It had been almost three years since I’d seen him, so it was great to briefly catch up and hang out. And, of course, I showed up at the concert armed with an arsenal of cameras, so here’s some visual memoribilia from Tuesday’s show.

I hope everyone is fortunate enough to have the chance to see them live!

Here they are performing on Letterman a few weeks ago…
