We did our set for Muddy Roots in the big tent yesterday. It’s a fest in Cookeville Tn about an hour and a half from where I grew up. Driving there was a little eerie. So many similarities to my home town, kind of unsettling.
I only saw a few of the other bands, Black Eyed Vermillion and Black Irish Texas, some friends from back home. The
Dead Kennedy’s and Fishbone where the two big headliners I got to see.
Fishbone was supposed to go on abut a half hour after we stated. It was a real bummer thinkin I was gonna miss most of them. But there were som sound issues that pushed them back so I got to see almost all of them. During their set the PA shut down three times because it was being overloaded. You could clearly hear the vocals distorting it especially when four of them were singing. Distortion causes amps to overheat and overheating shuts it down. It’s how it works. They finally got it goin correctly a couple of songs from the end.
So because Fishbone was supposed to start during our set. And their stage was right behind us most of the fest was back there getting ready. We still had a decent crowd and we rocked them pretty good on back lines gear. Just wish we could have packed it out.
Next year?
