Gallery: Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa at Summer Camp 2010

I hadn’t seen ZPZ since Rothbury, and I think they’ve been taking vitamins. This show gave me goosebumps, and not just for the helicopter-ing, horns, and stage presence. These guys know how to perform and put on what I thought was a SCAMP2010 top-10.

Summer Camp: Keller Williams

Summer Camp: Keller Williams

Keller’s just so damn cute you want to take him home and make him a peanut butter sammich, watch cartoons and chill. Would have loved to see the new “Keller & the Keels” but alas this was a solo performance. One of the biggest issues I had with Summer Camp is that Keller supposedly “gave [...]

Summer Camp:  ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra)

Summer Camp: ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra)

With a name like Animal Liberation Orchestra you know these are some crazy cats. Zach Gill (Keyboards, Vocals) went to High School with Jack Johnson, who helped produce the band’s first album. They put on a great show at Summer Camp, and I loved the slide guitar.

Summercamp: Cirque du Womp

Summercamp: Cirque du Womp

This year was all about the WOMP and late-nights outside the Soulshine tent were filled with beautiful performances of fire-breathing, poi, and juggling. Shout-outs to my friend Majik from East Lansing, MI for putting on quite the show (the blonde with awesome dreads). Music was a womptastic mix by Seek Selekta.

STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010

STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010

STS9′s inclusion in Summer Camp may have been due to the fact that these old guys create soundscapes on a grand scale. Traditional late-night fare, STS9′s blend of electronica with live instruments makes them doubly enjoyable.  They rocked the house past 3AM and even did an encore. The room was a bit too full for [...]

Yonder is always a treat in any festival lineup and their performance Saturday was no exception.

Summercamp 2010 Umphrey’s McGee Friday Set One Photos

An epic first set for UM Friday evening opening with Rocker pt. 2. Highlights included an amazing “Girlfriend is Better” Talking Heads cover. I’d been getting a “feeling” all day and by the end of glory, was calling a Cemetery Walk encore. I got it, and the weekend was just beginning. I’d just been handed [...]

Summer Camp 2010: The Scene

Summer Camp 2010: The Scene

Since arriving yesterday we’re constantly and consistently impressed with the level of though and detail that went into the planning and production.  The grounds are clean – although the portable toilets aren’t.  Evidently it’s an ongoing issue that I hope improves – or we’ll have to post poocano pics.

Jake Cinninger sits in with Dumpstaphunk at Summer Camp Festival

Dumpstaphunk blew out the barn last night and by the time I could get to the stage I found Jake Cinninger from Umphrey’s sitting in and shredding.   One of the reasons to go to festivals vs. concerts is for this kind of shared moment.

I have to say I’ve waited for months to see this amazing duo, and as Rach likes to call it, they’re both the “Softer Side of Sears” when it comes to having the raw emotion available to pull off a fricking mandolin / guitar combo.   Color me impressed as they came out and had [...]

Cornmeal at Summer Camp 2010

Cornmeal sure was a great way to start out Summer Camp for me, can’t wait for 30db tonight at the Campfire Jam.
