Ann Arbor Folk Fest Recap...

Just to get started......For those who attended the Ann Arbor Folk Festival last night, the line up did not disappoint. There is much to say about all the performers, but here are a few quick thoughts. Jeff Tweedy anchored the show, but really everyone was pulling their weight at Hill Auditorium.

I have video that I intend on posting shortly...keep checking back.

In the meantime, here is Jeff Tweedy's setlist:
Someone Else's Song (played at edge of stage w/o PA)
One By One

Everlasting Everything (new)
Solitaire (new)

Acuff-Rose (played at edge of stage w/o PA)

The Carolina Chocolate Drops brought that southern, front porch funk & soul and blew the crowd away with their stripped down, but no less bumpin' version of Blu Cantrell's Hit 'Em Up Style...here is a video to get an idea of the originality that they bring.
