#JaikWillis

Here is my audio recording of Jaik Willis' set. It was hot as h*ll and so was Jaik.

Mixing together blues, originals, some Dylan and even beatboxing, Jaik drew the folks outta the shade.

#OliverWood Trio

Here is a link to the full set audio.

For those unfamiliar with Oliver Wood, he is one of our great songwriters. Be sure to give a listen to Postcards From Hell, a tune that has some sage and sound advice for creative folk.

For those who are familiar with Oliver Wood, checkout out his new tune "Molasses" about a strange, tragic, and true event that happened in Boston on January 15, 1919.

The festival is over. Time to head back to Peoria.

The music may have ended but the memories remain.

I'll be posting most of the sets I attended to the Live Music archive over the course of the week.

In the meantime, here is a #ShoeFest photolog of the weekend.
