I came across Delta Spirit in college; they were opening for a show I went to see at the Parish. I can't remember the original band or musician I saw that night, but Delta Spirit stuck with me. I've been a fan of their music for almost five years now. I've seen them live more times than I can count and the shows just keep getting better each go 'round. The first time I saw Delta Spirit, their front man, Matt Vasquez, was performing on an old, beat up, duct taped, sea foam green Fender. Perhaps indicative of their success, Vasquez seems to play a more expensive guitar at each show, often a Gibson, but always pulls out the old Fender for a song or two. Tonight's show was incredible. Emo's was packed, as usual, and the band played a number of their new songs. I was bummed I didn't know the words, but was also happy to hear my familiar favorites. To go along with their new songs, rumor has it, a new album is coming out in March.
