Worthy Fest 2011-04-22 - Rise N Shine, Northwest Sons, Mighty High, and many many more.

Made the trek up to Glacier, Washington on Friday for Worthy Fest 2011. Anytime you have an outdoor Festival in western Washington you have a high chance of rain. Even more so when it is in April. This time Mother Nature gave us a break, be it a frosty one, sunshine in the day and clear and cold at night. Unfortunately the generator was late compressing everybody's sets.

But on to the photos...

Jazzbones 2011-04-16 - The B Foundation, Katastro, Northwest Sons, Mighty High

Wow what a night. One of the best shows I have seen in awhile. Jazzbones was packed out like I have not seen it before. I am still working off of just a few hours of sleep so I am at a little of a loss of words.

Mighty High

When you think of a 'jam band' you probably think of a some guys just getting together in their garage and making some music. Well lets say that Tacoma's own Mighty High still has some of that vibe but also sounds like guys that have a lot of practice under their belt. Their free flowing style worked well with the late dinner crowd at Jazzbones that already had the venue packed out.

Katastro

On tour from Tempe, Arizona, Katastro picked up the irie vibe that Mighty High was exhaling and loaded it up even more. They brought a Reggae/Rock/Hip-Hop vibe that I truly enjoyed as did the as did the dancing crowd at Jazzbones.

The B Foundation

The B Foundation picked up the groove that Katastro had but took us the ocean surf of LA. They are everything you would expect from a SoCal Surf/Rock band and much more. Rocking the house out they had the people grooving their entire set that was almost 90 minuets long.

Northwest Sons

Finishing up the night on a very warmed up stage, some might had even call it baking, was a band that is no stranger to the Jazzbones stage, the Northwest Sons. Trying to remain the hometown hero's after 3 great shows, 2 of them by nationally touring bands is no easy feat but the Sons seem to feed off the irie vibes of a show, and tonight was no exception.

Jesse Turcotte on bass


Brett Cummings on sax


Crazy fan sing/dance along for an encore of 'Northwest Sons' with Jason Moorehead of the B Foundation adding some flows.

Many fans and band members are talking up how good of a show this was last night. The 3 bands not including Mighty High are playing another show tonight at the Studio Seven tonight. This also should be a show to remember.
