Usually, this Minnesota cover band avoids performing indoor shows during summer. Everyone here wants to be outside when the weather is nice. But, we added the June 6 event to our calendar because of 2 things: 1.) Mainstreet Bar & Grill always has a great crowd no matter what and 2.) LTD Brewing across the street has their annual outdoor festival the same day.
We played this same slot the prior year and the owner of Mainstreet felt we were the right band to bring and keep the LTD post party crowd entertained, so we agreed nearly a year in advance to grab this date again.
The festival ends about halfway through our evening. Set 1 was our regular crowd, and still a good one, but about 10:30pm is when it got wild. Throngs of people showed up, ready to go. Our handler, Anne, took several short videos showing the crowd singing along at the top of their collective lungs – at times drowning out the house sound of the band. It’s times like those where we feel the MOST energy and therefore, inspired to turn that energy right back around to the crowd. At the end of the night the floor is wet and sticky, we are wet and sticky… and tired. But grateful.
