Here’s the second of the three Kavarna sets, with The Good Graces opening the show.  There was a substantial turn-out even for the first act…nice to see people getting out and supporting the local artists!

Being on the road for three weeks has left no time for posts…  Now that I’m back (and don’t have to work until Monday), I finally had a chance to check out the handful of recordings I made in Georgia before Christmas.  The only ones that turned out well were Hope For Agoldensummer, Night Driving in Small Towns, and The Good Graces at Kavarna.  I hadn’t seen HFAGS in several years, so it was nice to catch this intimate set at a cool coffee/wine bar in Oakhurst.

I’m getting ready to hit the road for a month or so, and decided to post a few more PopFest sets before I head out…  Dark Meat took the stage on Thursday evening, working the crowd into anticipation of the night’s final act, Roky Erickson.  Paying homage with their psyhedelic hero, the band concluded the set with a cover of Roky’s “Be and Bring Me Home”.
