They were saying hail was coming and we were under a tornado watch but it just thundered a lot and rained a little bit.

I got some much needed sleep during that time

I didnt catch the sheepdogs, they were playing the same time as primus.


Gary Clark Junior was amazing.

My highlights were Primus, Edward Sharpe, Railroad Earth and Big Gigantic.

I really wasn't much of a fan of Edward Sharpe before seeing them but they put on one helluva show

I don't know there were so many things going on on/around that stage


He did walk out into the crowd and party with us for quite a while.

hahaha he did the same thing on the beach and then fell off a rail he was trying to climb up/stand on. It was so funny. A collective gasp, holding of breath, then an eruption of applause when he recovered without a hitch

Gary Clark Jr. was pretty sweet.

Railroad was already one of my favs, they only pushed themselves further up the list. Second night by them was amazing.

Thought Umph put on 2 solid shows, Talking Heads cover was great.

Big G stole the show again on Saturday night, two straight years. shite was awesome

He was ridiculous and you could just feel how excited he was to finally be on a main stage. It felt like it could've been his "I made it" moment. It was a really sweet show.

My favorite headliners were Gary Clark Jr, Avett Brothers, Big G, and Umphreys on Saturday

My favorite smaller bands I saw were Four on the Floor and The Delta Saints

It was a great weekend.

It hailed for at least 5 minutes. We were riding out the storm holding down the tent. It was fun though

They had a set yesterday that I saw. Really good live show. Great southern rock sound, straight old school. They're really talented and good at engaging the crowd

Saturday night it hailed for about a minute then Sunday around 6 it came down hard for a good 10-15 minutes. When the rain started Saturday night/ Sunday morning the party really got started. shite was frickin nuts.
