Parking Lot Music Fest

Well, we finally pulled off a parking lot music festival (as part of a wider fund raising event, including car wash and food) on Saturday. We have been toying with this concept for a long time, and it came off. We had absolutely beautiful fall weather. Four musical acts made up the day, Reign of Ash kicked it off, and offered their basic sound equipment for the rest of the day. So they stayed and supported the other musicians. Next was Troika, a three piece, including two staff members of our Shelter. They were in the solid classic rock genre with some Stones, Hendrix, and Neil Young, among their selections. Then was Severed Chains. And it finished up with Nick Barry. There was bustle and activity all afternoon, and a festive feel to the event. The bands all were gracious in their willingness to participate, and they all poured themselves into their sets, with lots of energy and drive.
