Plenty of Americana
by Matt Driscoll

You would think, after living in Olympia for over four years, I would have managed to see a show at Plenty. Then again, after living in Olympia for more than four years you would think I would have managed to accomplish a lot of things.
I really didn’t.
I have eaten at Plenty — known for “PLENTY of great food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night snacking,” according to the restaurant’s Web site. And I have enjoyed it. I’ve found Plenty to be “Veggie and Vegan Friendly,” as they claim, and also slobbish omnivore friendly — as they make an impressive burger I’ve mowed down on several occasions.
Saturday, Oct. 13, the everybodyfields will play Plenty. The show definitely has the potential to overshadow any tasty veggie concoction or meaty delight on the restaurant’s menu. The everybodyfields, who hit the Northwest from Johnson City, Tenn., are firm evidence that country music is alive and strong, and the young Americana, folk, indie blood being pumped into the genre will be more than enough to carry us past the inevitable bloated death of Toby Keith and the small and bankrupt demise of Big and Rich.
the everybodyfields released Nothing is Okay in August of ’07. It marked the band’s third full-length release, and first with Ramseur Records — an indie label also known for the Avett Brothers and Mad Tea Party. I strongly suggest you check the record out at www.theeverybodyfields.com, and I strongly suggest you check them out when they hit Plenty Saturday. If you’ve never seen a show at Plenty, this one’s a sure bet.
