Wild Sweet Orange
September 4, 2008 | Filed Under Music, 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…

I stumbled across WSO back in February when my girlfriend and I decided to drop in the 40 Watt while down in Athens, GA. They were only the opening act that night, but it didn’t take us long to fall in love with them. I was able to talk to Preston for a little bit after the show, and was amazed by who humble of a person he was. Needless to say, their CD stayed in for months after the show. And I really like the pictures. Dark clubs always seem to be the hardest places to get good photos, but this turned out great!
