The 23 String Band took to the Beartrap stage on Saturday and they left the crowd in amazement, with jaws dropped and feet still tappin'. The boys of bluegrass mixed folk and rock and yes, bluegrass, to create a goulash of awesomeness. The only bad thing about their performance was that it ended. Here are some photos from their amazing set.
The 23 String Band gave a us a taste of their latest album through the title track - "Catch 23." Suffice to say... the crowd was not disappointed.
Joining us from California, the members of Ten Mile Tide (an their guest sax player) are looking forward to their CD release in September and "lots of naked girls."
Like most songs, 10 Mile Tide's tune Long Ride Home is about a girl. It's not a love song, however. It's about a girl who was taken on a camping trip and complained the whole time. Sounds like a good premise to us. Here's a video of 10 Mile Tide performing Long Ride Home at Beartrap Summer Festival 2012.
While everyone at Beartrap Summer Festival got to enjoy the music, kids at Beartrap Meadow got a special treat with activities and crafts at the Kid's Kamp.
When 10 Mile Tide took to the stage at Beartrap Summer Festival 2012, fest-goers held their breath in anticipation. Then the band from sunny San Francisco played their first song, and they all breathed a sigh, not of relief, but of awe. 10 Mile Tide wowed the crowd with their own special version of "feel-good muppet-funk" and they will not be soon forgotten. Check out these pics from their set.
One of the benefits of having a camera and a Staff badge is the opportunity to sneak into the "Green Room" and enjoy preview of the bands' performances. Check out this preview from Ten Mile Tide!
While Honey Don't singer Bill Powers didn't exactly a poor economy on anyone, he did mention that it doesn't exactly hurt when it comes to inspiration for music. Check out 'Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place':
