A lovely rendition of Mission within the Rain adopted Lil’ Crimson Rooster. Ashes and Glass led right into a peppy Do not Let Go that went again into Ashes and Glass. Subsequent got here a present spotlight – a masterful, pretty and heartfelt Climate Report Suite that easily transitioned into the set closing Let It Develop. The stable throughout first set with a nicely chosen, nicely performed tune choice ended properly at 8:08pm. Throughout set break a younger (probably influenced) fan requested why nobody was leaving but. He was relieved to comprehend extra music was on its manner.

When the home lights dimmed at 8:49pm, the already full stage was even fuller as three guys from Geensky Bluegrass all of a sudden emerged. Paul Hoffman on Mandolin, Anders Beck on Dobro and Mike Bont on banjo encircled Bobby for the acoustic 2nd set opener Good friend of the Satan together with a energetic Wolf Bros debut of Stealin’ adopted by a thoughts bending, jammed out Cassidy. Such a deal with to see all these gifted musicians enjoying so nicely collectively.
