Naukabout Music Festival Review and Media Gallery
Just got back from attending the 1st annual Naukabout Music Festival at the Barnstable County Fairgrounds. Everyone was in a festive mood (excuse the pun), the weather was excellent despite a rain forecast, and there was plenty of free refreshments from Gofast Sports. The event’s proceeds are to benefit the Elias Fund.
The music performers were Jim Decatur, Pete & Mike Band, Tin Can Tele, Barefoot Truth, The Old Silver Band, Ryan Montbleau, Braddigan Of Dispatch, and The Rustic Overtones.
Some of the bands had some interesting lineups. Two different bands had a stand up bass, Mike from the Pete & Mike Band sat in with The Old Silver Band, and the Rustic Overtones for instance had no less than two saxophonists. Good variety for my personal liking.
Kudos to the sound men who had a lot to deal with trying to engineer sounds for 8 separate bands. Just getting the mics to work alone is a very daunting task, never mind trying to mix them all professionally. Well done. Yes there were a few glitches, but the sound quality was excellent for an outdoor concert.
As for the bands, my personal favorite was The Barefoot Truth. The drummer/guitarist/lead singer is a very good vocalist that reminds me of a cross between Paul Simon and John Mayer, and the song entitled ‘Broken Road’ is destined to be a hit.
All of the bands were professional and showed lots of promise. One song that stood out to me, was the opening number from The Rustic Overtones’ ‘Combustible’. They were perhaps the most polished of all of the performers.
Special thanks to all of the sponsors today: Bear Naked, TheIslandMerchant, Hyannis Ice Cream, The Burrito Bus, Mandala Arts, Music Of The Bay, British Beer Company, Peak Organic Brewing Company, Green Over, Fuze, Surfrider Foundation, and of course the aforementioned Go Fast Sports.
All in all, a good time. Below are video links to some of the performers shot with my crappy camera, so I apologize for the jumpiness. I am linking here because the camera does produce good sound quality, and couple that with a good sound system, the video is worth listening to anyway..
