It’s been a few days since we got back from Stroudsburg, so I figured I’d best get this done now before I forget more. Better late than never, right?

Night three, the final night of the Mexicali Blues run by Railroad Earth. The body was beginning to ache but the spirit was most assuredly still willing. We got to the club early — around 8:30 — and prompty met a large amount of people who we’ve come to know over the past three years. […]

That was certainly fun. The Seven Story Mountain was beautifully trippy, the Head rocked hard, Buddy Cage sitting in on For Love was fantastic, the Railroad Earth was sublime… and as always, My Sisters and Brothers was perfection.
Really, any time they start a show with Everything Comes Together, you know it’s going to be a […]
