A drink-lovin', 6"4 teddy bear of a troubadour, Ryan Adam Wells in his hour-long, one-man confessional, pours his heart out in song.

Stories of love found and lost, a cautionary tale against mixing whiskey with Coyote Ugly, and through it all, his steadfast companion, "the longest and most stable relationship of my life" beer.

Whichleads me to my main criticism of the show. For goodness sake man, if you are going to devote a show to the joys of beer, mount the damn thing in a bar. It is a special kind of torture to sit cheek by jowl with 50 other people, listening to songs about beer, watching the performer drink beer, while the audience stays dry.

There is aserious side to the show; it's not all good ol'boy Southern charm and good times. Beers About Songs is a confessional, thedetails of which I will leave to Wells toreveal. I will say that he concludes the performance with an exhortation to the audience to reach out to each other and to love each other. That's lovely.
