Friday started off with
car after car of people rolling up the driveway all day and late into the
night.
Intergalatic Space Kitchen was there to provide all of the hungry
attendees that had just arrived with tacos, burgers, fries, and chicken wings.
Things were going really well and everyone was having a spectacular time.
Pink Moon Festival performers
N.A.R.P from
Blacksburg, Virginia and
The Deems, a jam band, both performed around early
evening and put everyone into better spirits than they were already
in. About an hour of rain dampened the grounds but even this could not keep the
people away! Later into the night,
Toy Soldiers played a killer set of
old-timey rock-n-roll that got the crowd movin’ and groovin’.
Saturday graced us all with bright sunshine and blue skies!
Atoka Chase, an acoustic duo, performed around early afternoon with Maya’s amazing
voice echoing throughout the festival grounds. Also, if you happened to get a
Progress Festival t-shirt (there are still some available for $10), this lovely lady did the awesome design! Be sure to check out their set at
Pink Moon VI.
The night progressed fantastically with
The Lawsuits who
were certainly crowd pleasers! I was able to get away from working the gate for
a little while and catch
Satellite Hearts performing a great Pink Floyd cover.
Meanwhile,
M.H. and His Orchestra were practicing in the
farmhouse kitchen for a little while before their set. Prior to Saturday night,
I had not seen this group perform after dark and I must say that it was quite a
show! This group is so animated and they really know how to get a crowd on
their feet. Also, be sure to catch their performance at Pink Moon this
year. The festival began to wind down and everyone dispersed for some rest
before heading off of the farm in the morning.
We would like to give a big “thank you” to all musicians,
attendees, staff, volunteers, and everyone else who contributed in some way to
this great event! A special “thank you” goes to
John Lockwood,
Deep RootsProductions,
81 Productions,
Intergalactic Space Kitchen,
Heaton Johnson VPhotography, Jim’s Sanitary Services, Union Disposal, and The Environmental
Coalition!
Progress Festival was held at Pinky’s Farm this past
weekend, April 11-13th, and was a huge success!
