The festival was very well organized and attendance was limited. I understand some 500 or so guests were there. There was lots of space on the grounds so perhaps next year there will be more present. We met several friends who were only able to stop in briefly.
There were lots of vendors set up under the trees; wine, beer and cider vendors; some good food including Graham's corn and The Wicked Pickle. And, of course, as a music festival, some very good music.
The day started low key with an open mic of interesting amateurs who are learning guitar at Deep Water Music. Then we moved on to more professional acts which are documented in this album. We were especially impressed by Mountain of Wolves, Broomsticks and Hammers and the closing act Samantha Martin & the Delta Sugar.
The fiddle player from Broomsticks and Hammers joined the set with Mountain of Wolves. He was an accomplished performer who fit right in even though he didn't know their tunes. Very impressive.
Samantha Martin's band include Danny Nash on drums. I spoke to Danny as I had recognized her from shows she had fronted at the Fred Eaglesmith Summer Picnic (which happened to be the same weekend).
It was a lovely day and a well organized fete. I hope Lucid Musings has turned a bit of a profit and hope to see the show repeated next year.
This photo album is a small sample of the day.
