i was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet and hear rob thomas play a short set up at the mix 94.7 studios a little while back. he played an acoustic set for about 40 people and it was amazing! austin was his last stop of the day after an early flight to texas and several other stops in. he was very generous with his time and even took questions from the guest. i've always like his and matchbox twenty's music but hearing him live, acoustically and in such an intimate venue was totally a once in a lifetime experience. (and he's really funny and a great story teller.) he's about to kick off his tour for cradlesong. hopefully i'll get to catch him when he swings by atx again.
