#ShoeFest 2025 Day #3
Our final set of the weekend was #MrBlotto, who were my second new (to me) find of the festival.
Check out their original tune Moviestar, although Pigs>Working For the Man was very fine as well.

On our way home after a most excellent weekend at #ShoeFest. The weather was great, the crowds were--mostly--nice, and the food was yummy.
My 2 favorite new bands: #TheFretliners and #MrBlotto.
All but two of the bands I taped are on the Live Music Archive. Watch for links over the next few days
Five piece, from left: keyboard player, bass player, guitar player, guitar player, drummer, and guitar player.
