Mile High Music Festival 2009 Wrap-Up: Paolo Nutini

Paolo Nutini's set started and I pretty much instantly knew that it wouldn't really be my thing. There were aspects to the band that I really enjoyed, like how they were a sort of Blues Brothers style of blues, or how they were kind of folky. It wasn't that they sounded like the Blues Brothers, because I would have freaking adored that, but it was more that they were clearly influenced by the style of blue the BB paid tribute to. I would have to say I would call their sound Jam Band Folk Blues, but really that's just an amalgamation of the terms that were floating around in my mind as I watched and listened to their performance. One of the bands that played this weekend that was very clearly a talented group of spirited people doing what they love, and I respect that to the end.

Mile High Music Festival 2009 Sampler, pt. 1

This year's Mile High Music Festival (July 18th -19th @ Dick's Sporting Goods Park) looks pretty promising. Last year had it's high lights, but I doubt I'll have any down time this time around. There are quite a few jam bands this year though, which I'm probably going to be elsewhere for, but there are enough acts that it looks like I'll have too full a schedule to be bothered with jam bands.

As is now a custom of mine, when a festival I plan on attending comes up, I compile a song by each of the acts playing, and host them right here for you crazy kooks to indulge yourselves in. Per the usual, I'll have all of them .rar'd up into 1 huge .rar file, then 3 smaller (bite size) .rar's, and each track individually hosted. If you get the huge .rar, or the 3 smaller .rar's, you'll have all the tracks that the others's have, which is every track listed below. Part's 2-4 are below this very post. just look for yourself! :)
