mission folk music festival

We spent another day at the Mission Folk Music Festival and heard some more amazing performers. Jason and I have to admit that we’re a touch snobby when it comes to music. We were musicians in our previous life (which is how we met) and still have an appreciation for excellent, live music. We loved every performance that we saw this weekend.

Surprisingly the kids loved it as much as we did. They sat on our blanket for hours two days in a row listening to the music. We are marking next year on our calendar and will be going again … so don’t plan your wedding for the same weekend.

Blueberry season is one of the best times of year.

Jason took this by holding out the camera, snapping away and hoping for the best.

The Gallus Brothers‘ kazooaphone solo. They perform good time, old time, wild ragtime and country blues with suitcase percussion.

Xander’s favorite. You have to watch the YouTube video of them playing two instruments, singing and juggling.

Wil Campa con la Gran Unión from Cuba reminded us of the Afro Cuba All Stars. They were smoking hot and we wished we could have heard them more but alas we had to take off for a shoot. These are some of the musicians dancing for one song.

Lexi is pretty serious about life.

Xander’s pretty serious about climbing as many trees as possible.

On a sadder note, the Mission Folk Music Festival always reminds me of a friend from high school who passed away. We missed seeing Autumn Joy Jenkinson basking in the sunshine and taking in the music with her daughter.
