Greens rock the house at the Blues Festival last night

The Greens, performing last of 6 acts, rocked the house at the Blues Festival at the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta last night. They played a four song set, strong. loud blues. They started with a blues-ed-up Swamp Queen; Big Ol'Betsy; Vacuum Blues, and a new song' The Pearl. They got a great reaction throughout, and a big ovation at the end. They were in high energy, and taking the opportunity to show 300 Blues fans, what the excitement of the Greens is all about. They were chosen to carry on to tonight's final round, starting at 8 pm. 6 acts will be in this final round, running till about 11 pm. I don't know the Greens time slot yet.
The jam session mentioned previously didn't come together for the Lafayette Lounge, but tonight there is supposed to be an after hours jam over at River City Grille at the Comfort Inn. There is music going on now, in the afternoon, the other first round acts throughout the day till 6 pm. 4 of those acts will move on.
