So, there we were, early, with plenty of time to kill. This is because of some weird anxieties about not relaxing until I get to the venue and get situated. We were in town to see Frank Turner (naturally), and we got there a bit earlier than we needed to. This time, we were at Bogart’s in Cincinnati. My wife and I found ourselves in Ohio again. Two Car Garage was no exception.įast forward one year. So many of my favorite bands now are bands I first saw opening for Frank Turner. ![]() One thing we love about Frank shows is the care he takes in picking openers. Two Cow Garage was the main support, but this show was extra special for them since that was their hometown show. In 2016, one of these road trips saw us down in Columbus, Ohio to see Frank Turner play with The Homeless Gospel Choir and Two Cow Garage. My wife and I have traveled thousands of miles to see him perform in large venues and small dive bars. He’s a musician that I have inked on my skin.
