Bluesfest: Highlights and Regrets So Far

It's been a busy week. For the past 8 days I've been taking in concert after concert at Bluesfest. I thought I'd share a few of my impressions so far ...

Highlights
Asylum Street Spankers

Kelly Joe Phelps
Jake Shimabukuro
Ani DiFranco
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Sam Roberts Band (and dancing in the pouring rain)
Live
Holy F*@# (hypnotic house beat instrumentals)
Kathleen Edwards ('cause she's the real deal and she rocks!)

Regrets
I would've liked to catch more of ...
Seu Jorge
The Bell Orchestre
Maraca w / Elmer Ferrer
Amadou & Mariam
Luke Doucet
Jim Bryson

So many shows, just one me!

The weather's been great during the entire festival: sunny and warm. This weekend will be a scorcher though - must remember to drink lots & lots of water. It all ends Sunday with Disco night. Groovy. :)

See you SOOOOOON...
