Editor’s Note: This year, we asked our bloggers to name their Top 10 shows of 2018 or choose their Top 10 photos of the year. We will run them over the course of mid-December as our Best of the Year posts.
Mark Engleson, a man who truly loves live Americana, folk, and country, chose his Top 10 concerts of 2018 for Parklife DC.

In his life, the brilliant but troubled singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt never played the 9:30 Club. But on Wednesday, his ghost laced up his “Flyin’ Shoes” and put in an appearance at Colter Wall’s show.

Singer-songwriter Colter Wall only released his debut album in 2017, but he quickly followed it with a sophomore record, Songs of the Plains, in October via Young Mary’s Record Co. The Canadian country singer performs at 9:30 Club on Wednesday, Nov. 28.
