Saratoga Folk Festival

bob dylanBob Dylan and a bunch of other great folk/folk-rock acts (Conor Oberst, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle and others) will be playing SPAC on August 17. Matthew Loiacono's take: this show's a "doozy."

And check it out, you can buy a pack of four lawn tickets for $120.

I tried to post this on Matthew's blog, but it wouldn't let me (maybe 'cause I'm at work?). I'm trying it again here:

Wow! (which is exactly what I exclaimed from my office chair, mouth full of McDonald's quarter pounder, much to the disruption of what my co-workers were doing at the time) I read part of the list of performers for this show (Dylan, Oberst, and Welch specifically caught my eye) on alloveralbany.com. Then, I clicked on a link that brought me here and... wow! The Swell Season! I am very much into Glen Hansard's song writing right now. I may start playing on street corners to try and raise funds to attend this show.
