Multimedia from the Vic Chesnutt Tribute Shows

We had an amazing time at the Vic Chesnutt tribute shows at the 40 Watt this weekend. It was a great tribute to the man and his music, and a reminder of just how many fantastic songs exist in his catalog. We'll keep updating this post as the various links roll in.

And we'll most certainly miss Vic.
