Following a “smoking” set of recorded music mixed by DJ Rob, Damian C, songwriter/artist from Philadelphia , opened up the live music portion of the program with a set of his “cerebral” original songs with a few covers sprinkled in to please the diverse group of attendees that started to build up as the clouds gave way to a beautiful Upper Cumberland afternoon–a perfect setting for Damian to showcase his varied talents. Be sure to follow Damian’s progress on Spotify and all the other music platform sources including being added to the eclectic playlist of Center Hill Radio - The Lake (now streaming online or download the app…available in the App Store and Google Play!).
LadyCouch: A BIG, funky band, with a BIG sound, filling the Redbud Stage with more players than any other group so far, including a full horn section, TWO keyboards, bass, guitar, mandolin, drums, flute, trumpet, fluegelhorn, tenor, alto, baritone saxes…on and on. These bunch of pro players had the audience on their feet right away, with a finger pointed up to the sky, gettin’ into the groove. o use an old jazz phrase to describe LadyCouch—”Solid”! With that big ole nasty fatback rhythm section pumpin’ along, it was indeed another “first” for the Burlap Room! How many ten-piece funk bands have you seen lately anywhere in the Upper Cumberland region?…ZERO- except for LadyCouch at Hemp Fest V!
Another successful Hemp Fest is in the books, thanks as always to the dedicated service and security staff of the Burlap Room, and A Production Company, owned/operated by Howard Bennett.
