I'm on the road tonight to Oshkosh WI .. Leach Amphitheater (cool venue) to see New Monsoon, Old 97's, and of all people Todd Rundgren. Not sure how much of the Runt I can take though.

Tomorrow night, day 2 at Summerfest in Milwaukee to see Think Floyd (PF tribute band), catch a little Rusted Root, Marcia Ball, and Phil Vassar too! I saw Animation (Rush tribute) last year .. had to look the other way, but the music was right on.

Should be a great couple of nights. I hope the rain holds off. The increase in the temp the last 2 days has been nice.

I'm off most of next week for more Summerfest.

New Monsoon and Old 97's were awesome. Todd Rundgren was a bore, I left after 4-5songs (with 3 broken strings in the first 2 songs).

Saw Rusted Root and Terrence Simien June 27th at Summerfest. Railroad Earth and Yonder Mountain String Band on July 1st.

Tonight Lotus and Phil Lesh & Friends at 8pm (Summerfest). Get out and see some live music!
 
Yep, Summerfest really is quite a good deal. I used to go there 3 or 4 times a season back in the 70s, you know, when the Main Stage shows were free :D. All the other stages are free w/ admission to the grounds though right??

I checked out the site to see who's playing and it really is quite impressive. Even thought about dragging the family back for a visit. Mickey Hart, Jakob Dylan, Derek Trucks, Mountain, Cheap Trick, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Steel Pulse, The Zombies all in the next 3 days.

Went to Arrowfest (the FM station sponsoring the thing calls itself "the Arrow") but only showed up for the last 2 acts ...Styx, then Boston. Some people in the concession area had to leave before Boston came out and they gave us their ticket stubs ...THIRD ROW IN THE ORCHESTRA PIT!!!!
I wasn't all that stoked about being there, but gotta tell ya that was pretty impressive. The Home Depot guy Tommy DeCarlo did a great job for only his tenth-or-so performance.
 
I've got three outdoor shows coming up on my calandar:

7/19 - The Rosewood Thieves @ Casey Anderson Benefit, Greenfield, Ohio
8/16 - My Morning Jacket @ Waterfront Park, Louisville, Kentucky (American tour kickoff)
8/29-9/1 - Gratefulfest @ Nelsons Ledges Quarry Park, Garrettsville, Ohio (Dark Star Orchestra, Keller Williams, Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Donna Jean & The Tricksters, master of ceremonies Wavy Gravy and more)

Should be some good times!
 
AshFest is coming to Florida... as in Wishbone Ash... wish I could make. Whenever they come to the US they tend to stick to the east coast for some reason.
