Warren Haynes is Santa Claus, at least as far as I am concerned. Not only does he throw the best Christmas Party I have ever attended, but the eight hour-plus music event is for a great cause, Habitat for Humanity.
The band
The Al DiMeola Project threw caution to the wind, and despite the threat of Wilma looming in the Gulf of Mexico; (many touring acts canceled appearances due to the impending hurricane) the band tore the roof of the Carefree Theater before the storm got its chance.
Rarely, at least in my observation, does an artist make the successful transition from rock band to solo acoustic performer. Jerry Joseph is one of those rare artists.
U-Melt hit the stage in front of a sadly sparse audience (Woodstock on a Thursday night is not what it used to be), but lived up to their name by liquefying those who were there with a molten hot evening of music.
All the artists, their crews, Terrapin Presents, including all their staff and volunteers, and all the people from Indian Lookout Country Club brought their A-game to the Vibes this year.
