Holiday plans can throw a wrench into band bookings, but Night Driving in Small Towns found a way to use the absence to two band members to their advantage on the weekend before Christmas.  Instead of canceling the shows, remaining members decided to approach these shows as the “NDIST Acoustic Trio”.  Composed of Andrea Rogers (vocals), Colby Wright (mandolin), and Daniel Gonzalez (acoustic guitar), this incarnation of the band treated Atlanta fans to stripped down versions of NDIST favorites.

Here are recordings of the two performances.  Apologies for the buzz in the Kavarna set–it was coming through both the PA and the board feed, and couldn’t easily be eliminated without damaging the audio quality.
