Sally Gap 2011 Was Awesome!

It really was great, wasn’t it folks? This was the nicest weather we’ve had for the festival, and other than some unforeseen electrical problems, everything went off without a hitch.

All of the national bands were awesome, of course, with Sally favorite Lonesome River Band closing the show on Saturday in their usual explosive fashion. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to stay the night as they usually do, but the jamming Saturday night was still great.

One of the big (and pleasant) surprises of the weekend was Marty Raybon and Full Circle. We knew they would be awesome, but we had no idea they would play almost 30-minutes longer than their allotted time. Thanks Marty for the great show! The fans really loved it!

Another great surprise was Tidalwave Road. Great show guys! We got a lot of feedback about you guys and everyone (including the promoters) wants to have you back next year!

The Russian band, Grass Pistols, also put on an amazing show. If you didn’t get a chance to see/hear them, go to their website and see where else they’re going to be on their U.S. festival tour.

Everyone involved in the festival came together to make another memorable event, from parking volunteers to security to the festival promoters. Please spread the word about this festival to everyone you know…first weekend in June, 2012!
