    The boys are headlining the 4th Annual Americana Fest. It's at a small outdoor park in downtown with a giant stage. Always good sound.

    The festival centers on local Americana acts (of which we have quite a few for this area) with an out-of-town headliner.

    Our paper (my employer, the New London Day) will be doing an interview with Blake and give them a bit of press in the weekend section next Thursday.

    Knowing Yarn, and knowing the music fans around here, I guarantee they'll pack it and sell a fair bit of merch.

    Well, our paper and our music writer, Rick Koster, gave the band a nice bit of ink. A picture on Page 1, the full cover of our weekend section, Night & Day, as well as this interview:

    That's awesome, tous! Great questions! And I like the part about you holding Koster's paycheck hostage - too funny!

    Also a thanks to you for the new show - looking forward to checking it out!

    Got a couple couches...no problem. We won't be there till about 9:30 or so. The openers are local and meh.

    Yarn's scheduled for 10. The festival runs till 11.

    Wait...wut?

    Yup, that's what the schedule says but we talked to a couple of the promoters and they're saying other headliners have played till 11:30 or until the cops come shut it down (noise ordinance). I gave Blake a heads-up last weekedn that they might want to have the acoustic guitars handy.

    Well, a solid 90 minute or so set that certainly won some new fans. Weather in the 50's kept the crowd down but they moved some merch so that's a good thing.

    Forgot to keep a setlist but from memory:

    Alone on the Weekend
    NYC Found
    When The Summer Ends (with the New London drunks way off on their singing and timing!)
    Bad Bad Man
    Outlaw > For What It's Worth > Outlaw
    Tennessee
    The Dirt Road
    Salt Creek > Interstate
    It's All Over Now
    encore:
    Along The Way ("Here's a J Lo cover!")


    On to Ocean Mist tonight...got a promise on "Let Us Pray"...
  12.  
    Sorry I couldn't make it tous...did a 15hr day on Thursday and just couldn't rally.

    Talked to my friend Brian who joined us at the Mist the last time and he was heading down with a bunch of friends....of course, by the time you read this you will know that....duh ;) Hope it was a blast~
