The Birthright Blues Project played on the Rising Biscuit Stage last night as part of the King Biscuit Blues Festival. We went on stage and did our thing, playing original Texas Blues. We led the show with Mississippi River, and followed it with a 45 minute selection of our music, ending up with Angry Woman on the slide guitar. I do not recall the order (although I will when we see the videos, I think there were 3 different videos taken last night by friends in our following). Look for them soon here, on the website. Also, our photographer, Marie Gold took pictures, they will be up soon as well.
What I do know is that everyone we talked to after the set said it sounded great, and I know it sounded great up under the lights (the monitor mix was just right in my monitor). And when I came down off the stage, I was greeted by a couple of other musicians who play in the blues scene, Mose Taylor and Dave Reilly, and they gave us great feedback, as did everyone who came back to Bunky's afterward.
We followed our set with one more Bunky's Late Night Jam. Jack was joined on the Bunky's stage by Evan Hawk, Mose Taylor, John, Jordan, Steve, and Hairy Larry (as well as others whom I didn't catch their names). Then, Jack and I walked on down to "Baton Rouge" and "Missouri" a couple of friendly campfires to the west of our campsite, where we visited with old friends and made some new friends.
I am sure a lot of other things happened yesterday as well, but they do not come to mind at the moment.. I do know that we enjoyed seeing Spoonman and the Spoonfed Blues, which included Mose, Darcy, and Terry, as well as catching a set by Phillip Stackhouse. Pictures of yesteday will be up as soon as possible. I am looking forward to today where we will be buskin on the street with young Evan Hawk, and after dark we will be catching Keb' Mo on the main stage. And today, we won't miss Dave Reilly's set, although that will likely be the only set we watch during daylight.
This festival is such an amazing time! We were just talking as a band, along with a camping friend who has been to more festivals here than us, about how once someone comes to this festival, it becomes a yearly thing thing for them, and everyone generally looks forward to it all year long.
