High Sierra 2010: Surprise Me Mr. Davis @ Camp Harry – Moore is More

Photo Galleries

My High Sierra High is dwindling. I have taken multiple showers, the dirt is almost completely off my feet and my sleep schedule is almost back to normal. Friends keep asking me about how my festival experience was, what bands I saw and what ridiculous costumes I wore. There was so much magic that happened [...]

A soundboard of the set recently surfaced on this feed which I’m cranking right now, and I’m completely musically transfixed and entranced on these new grooves. What can I say….I’m a fan.

I was really considering flying across the country for this but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get the dough together to make it happen. The lineup is sweet, though.

Check out the JamBase photos and commentary from Nateva. We’ll have some more coming soon. I’m hearing conflicting reports on whether or not the festival was actually a success or not and it definitely didn’t really hit on a scale that we’ve seen infiltrating the media at all corners. We welcome it as a newcomer, [...]

High Sierra 2010: Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

Photo Galleries

Day one at High Sierra was filled with smiles, good times and an all-around relaxed vibe for me, and it end with Edward Sharpe and his band of Magnetic Zeros. Despite some frustrating sound issues that caused a bunch of feedback that made the magnetic frontman quite unhappy, the band made due and delivered a solid rousing event for their one and only High Sierra 2010 set. My buddies Pete and Rae Rae were there to get some photos and videos…

High Sierra 2010: Rubblebucket

Photo Galleries

Moving on from Newfangled Wasteland, I caught a taste of Rubblebucket. A friendly security guard let me sneak backstage so I could get some shots of the crowd and the Vaudeville Tent. I stuck around for as long as I could before moving onto the camp for more raging with the crew and cooking dinner to get ready for the rest of the night. I’ll definitely be checking these guys out again soon. Anyone else catch this set on day one?

High Sierra 2010: Newfangled Wasteland

Photo Galleries

One of the first bands I shot this weekend was Newfangled Wasteland, the all-star jamband tribute act to Beck. The set wonderfully took us through the recognizable numbers of old and dipped into some of the newer stuff that the crowd may have been familiar with. Songs like “Gamma Ray” and “Devil’s Haircut” were performed [...]
