Looks sick. I have bashed WSP on this site many times. I have finally figured out why people are into them. They're pretty damn good. Cant wait to see them in Houston may 2nd. Hope to hear Blue Indian....

I like your profile photo Mike Savage. That show (Comes a Time) was fucking amazing. It's a rare occasion when you see members of String Cheese, Phish, Grateful Dead + Warren Haynes + Bruce Hornsby on stage together.

Dispatch, i think it's neither. i read it as jerry douglas then yonder, though it wouldn't be improbable for jerry douglas to sit in with them for a few tunes.

for those confused by the name, it refers to the 'society' or the organization that puts on the festival not to the featured style--though the earlier summer festival does tend to be more jazz-centric.

looking forward to belly-up late night show info.
