Candler Park Music Festival

[Markalanbishop]

So who's going? J Roddy and Shovels and Rope lead ins. Take Marta, it's Smarta. See you there motherfuckers!!!

[Ty Webb]

Got my wristbands; ready to rock.

Trying to decide if I'll head down Friday night as well. It's been a few years since I've seen Leftover Salmon.

[RustyGoKart]

Saturday is gonna be a blast. Roadkill Ghost Choir is outstanding. I can hear the music from my front porch, so I'll probably walk over for at least parts of both days.

[zoid]

We will be there for the Saturday festivities. Splurged and bought the $40 VIP Experience tix . Not real sure what that will get us...

[ScottyC]

Mrs and I will be there. Looks to be a beautiful day and should be a good time. Be safe everyone and use Marta and Uber.

[buddymo]

We got One Of These Days!!!

[Markalanbishop]

Had the unexpected but distinct pleasure to spend the day with Mr. and Mrs. Swamp!! Just an excellent day of music. The boys were killing it. Big and enthusiastic crowd. Couldn't begin to attempt a setlist. Rock on.

I had a couple of first timers standing next to me. They really got hooked during Sinkhole and started asking me the name of every song after that. They got some good ol belly laughs during a few songs thanks to the boys' smart turn of phrase. It was nice to see some new fans being made.

Let's not discount J Roddy or Shovels and Rope, either. Great sets. Bummed that I missed T Hardy.

[Shockadow]

What'd they play after Grand Canyon? My 8 year old ran outta steam.

That was the last song. All you missed was the crowd shouting over that idiot Red Stripe guy with a raucous DBT chant.

A little tip for next time: D-B-T and Fuck-Red-Stripe have the same number of syllables.

Seven Handle Circus--kinda over this whole folk rock approach. Not bad but just meh.
Southern Culture on the Skids--great stuff. Really good guitarist.
Hardy and the Hardknocks--Always liked him. Only criticism is I thought the drummer was trying to steal the show. Tone it down, you're not in Nirvana.
J. Roddy--they bring it all the time and yesterday was no exception.
Shovels & Rope--still on the fence with them. At some point you have to write songs with memorable melodies. But they were awesome yesterday.
DBT--second row right behind the Swamps who were holding down the rail. Really loud, really clean, really tight. They are so dialed in right now. Cooley and Jay were just fucking shredding all night long. Hope someone can post a setlist because I was way too stoned to remember. I needed that Rock Show.

BTW, the $40 "VIP" ticket was the best money I've spent in a while. Had shade, seats, bars. Great day.

[Markalanbishop]

Here's some photos. Paper said 15,000 people were there.

That's me in the blue shirt behind the girl in the light blue shirt.

^^^Awesome. I didn't move down til DBT. Did we share a joint? I just really enjoyed last night. Everything they do is in service of the song, it fucking kills me every time. Rock on.

Haha... It was never passed to our side of that little divider fence. That was probably a good thing

Here's where those pics came from. There are some pretty good band pics also...

The pleasure was ours Mark. It was a great day! We really needed to get rawked and the boys did not disappoint. Although I kinda knew you'd be there, we had a
nice surprise as we were looking for a place to enjoy our favorite habit. I like to stand in the middle of the crowd and as we made our way looking for a spot, I told
the misses to go stand in front of the tall guy with the straw hat. As we stepped in front of him and we all made eye contact it was none other than Athens Joe.
What a great surprise. Also got to see our dear friends Adam and Holly along with GMU and Strutter. Nice see you again Zoid even though I don't remember the last
time. While I wasn't familiar with most of the other bands, SCOTS sold me on the show as I have been a fan for about 15 years. They did not disappoint either.
I really liked JRW & the Biz and S & R was really good if not intense at times. I'm not big on festivals but this one was set up pretty nice.
This is what I remember.

I'd hoped for some of the new material, but I should have known better.

It's all coming back to me now! Just today I was wondering if they played Marry Me or if I just dreamt it. Really, a stunningly good set.

[dbtfan4life]

agreed! that looks like a damn near perfect setlist

[brett27295]

Any show that opens with One Of These Days has got to be killer...

[Eyes Above It]

A recording of the show has surfaced.
