The Maverick Festival. Highlights - the absolute force of nature that is Jerry Joseph in his power trio format, the over-talented and quite astonishing Dead Religion doing an acoustic set (https://thedeadreligion.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-big-white-live-session-02-03-25), Jerry Hannan - who you may know from his collaboration with Eddie Vedder on ‘Society’ - I had lovely chat with his awesome Donro player Sven about playing with Bob Weir (him, not me), and the absolutely charming April Moon, proudly flying the flag for “Canadia” They are schlepping all over the country in a van for six months, so if they turn up in your neck of the woods, they are definitely worth an evening out.
Honourable mention for the Motel Vandals and their 10:30 Sunday hangover slot. Someone was already chugging a breakfast beer. 🍺
