The first three acts were all from Paragould. And at Paragould it was pouring rain. I told them it wasn't raining in Jonesboro yet and we would set up and play until it did hoping that it didn't. All three acts loaded up and drove in to play and it didn't.
We started with a jam set and then Left Lane kicked us off with some rocking sounds. Then Everyday Life started electric and finished acoustic. 8ght Mile laid some Country and some Blues on us with a bit of Dylan too.
Then Hairy Larry played a set of mostly Country music on acoustic guitar with his harp on a rack. Closing the show was Houston Steele and The Country Legends feturing Rick Lane. This band is part Wolf Pack and part Bad Habit backing up Houston Steele. They played Country, Rock, and Blues.
So in spite of bad weather once again we had a great day at Blues Fest.
