Sound Fest

The music has started on Day Two. Ashleigh Flynn played for about 10 minutes ont he Northwest Court, and Star Anna brought out some twangy electric guirtar on the Mural Amphitheatre stage.

Hope you didn’t miss Jazz Northwest on at the Northwest Court/Wells Fargo stage. There was a band of Wazzu faculty playing, and WSU was kicking he living crap out of Oklahoma State (jazz) It’s like the Oklahoma State guys nevery even showed up. (Editor’s note: Um, Mike, didn’t you go to WSU? And what about that game yesterday …)

Over on the Fisher Green stage they’re playing — honest to God — easy listening ’80s pop hits. This is my second vocorder sighting of Bumbershoot (the first being with Throw Me The Statue). they played “Moonlight Feels Right.

Over on the Broad Street Stage, there’s a kind of Primus knockoff, but with a really good bass player.

The main stage has opened up supposedly with Keisha Cole, but 20 minutes into her start time, she still wasn’t on stage. Later in the day there’ll be performances by TI, Black Keys and Stone Temple Pilots later this afternoon.

I’ll be roaming around here for awhile and will let you know how things are going.
