KMTT Mountain Music
Festival It's been a couple of months since I went to a concert so I was full of anticipation for the Low Stars. I got to the venue about 30 minutes before performances were to begin. Asked a gal from the station when each of the performers were going on and to my relief the Low Stars were up first.
So I went to my reserved seat in the 3rd row aisle. Very nice spot I have to say. Shortly after I settled I spotted Jude on stage getting his guitar. I thought I saw him look into my direction, but before he left though he did smile and wave in my general area so I waved back. Assuming that was to me. *blush*
When the Low Stars started the seats in front of me were not full. I mean when they were doing individual intros it was probably just me and 4 other pairs of hands clapping. A little disappointing as I wanted them to have a nice crowd to play for. Also with the empty seats all around me I couldn't really take photos since there was security in view. Not that it mattered because there was the designated radio station photographer. Of course what really matters was the music! It filled the mid-afternoon sky beautifully.
- Just Around The Corner
After the set I waited around
in my seat for awhile until out of the corner of my eye I saw Jude. So I
went over there to say "hello." I didn't think my chances of
running into him were good, but I took the opportunity to try. There were
some people around him and I was the last to approach. Guess he remembers
me pretty well. It's not just anyone can spell my name right. Had him sign
my Low Stars cd and he asked me how many of those I had. I said 5, so
that's what he wrote on my cd. I didn't have time really to talk to him
too long as he mentioned he was going to eat. I just told him where the
general food vendors were located and I really tripped up on his greetings
from certain people who wanted to send their wishes. He also said the
other guys were going to be around. With that he went behind the gate
again and I went to get some food myself.
Now I don't really know too much about the other 3 bands on the bill, with the exception of the Los Lonely Boys because that "Heaven" song was everywhere when it was released. I was greatly impressed by Marc though. Very bluesy, rock quality and he puts on a great show. People got up to dance, and I actually went up to the stage for a bit. Security actually started to put people back to their seats, but he said he would stop playing and leave if they put back one more person.
Out of the corner of my eye I
could see Chris Seefried and Jeff Russo taking in the set. They would
appear a few more times throughout the night along with Dave Gibbs. Back
to Marc, I'll really have to check out his cds. If he could get the guy
sitting next to me to dance, it must be good.
I never intended to stay as long as I did, but I thought I would stick it through at least the first couple of numbers by the Los Lonely Boys. After that I called it a night. Fun times.
