The anticipation was building all day at work, the weather was going to hold, we were staying at a friends just uphill from the festivities, this was going to be a good night of music and I didn’t even have to leave the beautiful Roaring Fork Valley that I call home!
Heading down to the festival grounds around 6pm ready for the Kyle Hollingsworth Band set at 6:30pm I couldn’t help but notice all the people enjoying some frosty barley sodas. Read more…
It was a delight to experience the explosive jams that The Contribution wove effortlessly into a tapestry of timeless lyrics and melodic sequences. The band held their second of two CD release parties on April 3rd at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. In my experience, it is rare to find a group of musicians able to reach and maintain the level of talent that was displayed on Saturday night. Comprised of Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth, Keith Moseley and Jason Hann of the String Cheese Incident, and Phil Ferlino and Jeff Miller of New Monsoon, this band is nothing short of a super-group.

After the Heavy Pets got done playing an incredible set of music, we were all ready for the debut performance of Holy Kimoto. They started with an interesting groove, and early on I recall thinking I had not heard anything that sounded like this. Michael Travis (EOTO, The String Cheese Incident, Zilla, PRAANG) began on bass and switched from bass, to keys, hand percussion, computers.

This was an interesting surprise to me, given this band has Steve Kimock (Steve Kimock Crazy Engine, PRAANG, and Zero to name a few), Kyle Hollingsworth (The String Cheese Incident, Kyle Hollingsworth Band), and Jason Hann (EOTO and The String Cheese Incident).
