Tusk Lord

@ catalpa music festival - august 25, 2007

tusk lord (aka mike k.) drove a spike into the afternoon at catalpa with his super-extra-loud. i heard his guitar lead from across the camp, and came quickly to it like a mouse to the pied piper. this kid's got chops! i liked the first piece he performed a little better than this clip, but unfortunately, i didn't hustle to the stage quickly enough. next time.

Enumclaw

@ catalpa music festival - august 25, 2007

enumclaw's premiere performance on a beautiful late summer afternoon on a mountainside. the sun was glistening through the trees and we all held our breathes before exhailing into our weekend of grace and nature. norm fetter, of niagara falls and previously golden ball, is venturing into new territory with this solo project. can't wait to hear more.
