Litterfest 2

Saturday 4th March 2019
Union Street, Stevens Point, WI

The solo set from Colin Edwin (who also played with Good Grief) was the highlight. An amazing cover of "God Only Knows" closed the set, but the last of his originals was just devastating...what an incredible songwriter! There was a nice noise set from Buddy W/O Organs earlier in the afternoon too. Anna kicked things off on the front porch at noon (the rest occurred down in the basement), her last performance in town for a while, as she was moving up to Door County the next day.

It's satisfying to see the bluegrass/Americana dominance of the local music scene is giving way to more of a punk/rock/noise/experimental thing. A week or so later I was jamming with Tyler, Mike and Mike (not for the first time) in a tiny room upstairs on Main Street... they're the Elastic Waste Band, a noise/drone project, who sometimes sound like this:

I didn't really feel like I was able to add much this time, but Tyler made a careful recording which may eventually surface, so we shall see...
