Bluesfest: Dirty Projectors

Following Bradley's main stage workout, I wandered over to the River Stage. That's where Dirty Projectors were getting ready to rev things up with some left-of-the-fial indie rock. They were a bit more rock'n'roll this time, as compared to when I saw them open for Grizzly Bear at Barrymore's.

Drummer Michael Johnson and (I think) Haley Dekle check the mics.

One, two, three ...

Apart from frontman David Longstreth, I think Amber Coffmann is the only member who was at the Barrymore's show.

Unless I'm much mistaken, this is super, super new (at the time, anyway) keyboardist Olga Bell.

Longstreth gets a grip.

Singalong action, plus Nat Baldwin! Baldwin came through town early in the year to do a solo gig at Raw Sugar.
