dogs were annoying (when it says "no dogs", it doesn't mean, no-dogs-except-for-your-cute -dog-which-I'm-sure-wouldn't-ever-bother-anyone. Jerks), stupyfingly awful stage patter was rambled, and Lebanese food was eaten. All in all, The 2008 Oil Region Indie Songwriters Festival was a smashing success by any measure.
Jerome Wincek and the Old Hats ran through a killer set from Astral Road

We cut after Newmen's set and headed to Seneca to catch Illalogical Spoon at Brother Bean
Just an awesome, awesome show. Spoon, as heard that night, was an 8 piece band including two drummers, a trumpet/harmonica guy, a accordionist/percussionist, a cellist, guitar/vocalist, bass, and a guy who was a dead ringer for Adrien Brody who occasionally did some spoken word or screaming. There were driving beats that rose to escastic crescendos, syncopated handclaps, those clicking noises that Snoop made on "Drop it Like Its Hot" and a whole lot of sweet. Spoon veered from Americana (really good Americana - you know how you can never take Tom Waits' faux hobo thing seriously, that it's all a big goof? Not so for Spoon as they spiraled from Woody Guthrie sounding train moments to prison shouts to morphing the tune halfway through into a swingy hot jazz sound) to moments that seemed to veer to straight up chaos until a musical thread was found and they improved themselves back out.
We bought everything they were selling that night and would have bought more if they had it.
The 50th Annual Kennerdell Music and Arts Festival, held this year on August 2 from 10-8 is looking for artists and crafters.
