Morgantown Arts on the River Festival

Spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon at the river in Morgantown, listening to some great music- a good lineup all afternoon. Todd Burge was playing when we arrived, Andy and Ben were next, two more acts before finishing up with the Weedhawks. Andy and Ben played a great set; Ben playing his smaller scale upright bass- Cello? And adding lots of great vocal harmonies; Andy displayed his great songwriting versatility with a wide range of song types. The Weedhawks put on a great show; full of fun and great fiddle licks; they ventured out in the audience unplugged and climbed up through the bleachers to connect with the audience. They had the little children dancing up front throughout their set. They are great crowd pleasers and interactive, and have such great stories to tell. The middle two groups were the Ginsangers from Elkins, and a band called: brown chicken brown cow string band. They both were great contributions to an afternoon of music. The string band was especially appealing in their versatile selections of tunes, and sharp instrumentation. Very excited to have the Weedhawks coming to Parkersburg the end of July; made a good connection with Bob after the show; he's pleased Nick Barry will be opening for them here. Told some good stories on Nick!!!
Andy and the Greens will be playing this Friday night in Morgantown at 123 Pleasant St. as part of Rasta Rafiki's 'reunion" shows this summer- as well as a show in Pittsburgh on July 2nd.
