Music to my ears

Mother Nature has favored Revel 32. Every day has been beautiful. Although it's a little warmer than usual, the heat beats the rain any day. In recent years, I can't remember revelers enjoying such sunny skies. Financially, it's a sunny situation for the festival too. A soggy day can be a major setback.

Tonight the entertainment will continue at 8:30 p.m. at the Eldorado RiverView Stage with Losing Anna. The band is no longer together, however they occasionally resurface for special performances.

The weekend promise amazing performances too. Blues legend Humbert Sumlin will play with the Bluebirds and Miki Honeycutt at 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Chase Stage. Local band Dirtfoot will go on at 7:30 p.m. at the Eldorado RiverView Stage and will be followed by New Orleans favorite Cowboy Mouth at 9:30 p.m.

Revelers will be treated to a funk-filled performance by George Clinton at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Eldorado RiverView Stage. Industry newcomer Carter's Chord will perform at 9:30 p.m. on the Chase Stage. The group is new to Toby Keith's record label and their album is due out at the first of next year. While their sound falls under the country music genre, the sisters season their sound with a dash of the blues and a helping of three-part harmony.

However, if you've had your fill of festival food and fare, Orlando-based Band Marino will perform at 9 p.m. tonight at Jackrabbit Lounge. The band is big among hometown fans and stopped at Sully's Tavern in Shreveport a few months ago.
