May 25 / Welcome Fest!

We were honored to know the folks who created this festival. Hopefully this is the first of many Welcome Fests to come. Attendance was in the 100's and for a first ever, DIY, music and arts festival at a camp outside Cleveland ... we felt like it couldn't have been more of a success. We played into the evening at a small outdoor theatre on a hill. If there's been one recurring element of this tour, it's been that each day, no matter where we are, we've made friendships with people who we are better for now knowing. The bands we've played with have been phenomenal and the people who have been gracious enough to let us crash with them have been some of the most amazing folks we've ever met. Playing Welcome Fest at the end of this tour was too perfect. At the end of our set the drummers from the Lighthouse and the Whaler, Quietly to Himself, Tallahassee and Wildboy of Aveyron all came out and played with Andrew ... it was one of the funnest moments of the whole tour.
