Moon River Music Festival

This weekend, we made our way to Memphis for the 1st Annual Moon River Music Festival which was put on by Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors (one of our favorite bands). It was amazing! A day full of great bands, a lot of sunlight, and great company. 

The lineup included: Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Ellie Holcomb, Judah & The Lion, The Dirty Guv'nahs, Will Hoge, Holly Williams, Rob Baird, Dwan Hill, Apollo Mighty, Myla Smith, STAX Music Academy Alumni, and Idle&Wild. 

This was my parents first ever festival and it was the perfect one for them. Being the 1st annual (or possibly the 40% chance of rain) there were not too many people there, which was super nice. 

We had a really great view, the sound was awesome--it was a wonderful day. 

 Ellie Holcomb tearing it up!
I love this lady's voice and I love the lyrics to her songs even more so. Her newest album "As Sure As The Sun" is beautiful. 

 There's nothing sweeter (music wise) than watching them perform together. 

 My zoom lens did it's job. This was my first time to really use it and it was awesome.

 These festival "first timers" had a good ole' time. 

 Y'all, Judah & The Lion were AMAZING. They were so fun to watch and they are all so talented. 

My favorite one we heard (other than Drew & Ellie of course!)

 The Dirty Guv'nahs were so much fun--as you can tell 

 Mister Will Hoge---"keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart"

 We were hot, sunburned, and nasty but we were ready for Drew & The Neighbors

And wouldn't you know, we had been there since 10:30 am and when Drew & The Neighbors finally came on (around 8:20), the lightening and rain decided to show up! As you can see, we were ready. 

We all came home exhausted, nasty, and sunburned, but boy it was worth it.
