Roll Credits

Before I say, "thank you," here are a few highlights from my Saturday:

Sarah Jarosz – in the parking lot of Waterloo on the coldest day of the festival. She performed most of the songs from her album, Song Up in Her Head, and covered Patty Griffin’s Long Ride Home as well as her new song Coming Up. She also found out that day that she was awarded Best Female Vocalist, Best Country/Bluegrass Artist, and Best Folk Act by the Austin Music Awards.
 

I also caught Le Loup, a DC band that sounds a bit like vampire weekend, Dengue Fever (pictured) a psychedelic rock bank with a Cambodian singer, and Austin natives Grupo Fantasma, a Latin rock orchestra.

Credits, Thanks, Etceteras...
