Sound Salvation Army

So Hillside has scored some big names in folk this year. And try as I might, I can’t pretend to care too much about them.

I respect your hippie right to smoke a bowl and listen to Xavier Rudd and twirl around to Loreena McKennitt. Really, I do. It’s just not my cup of organic green tea. So while I’m sure the mainstage acts tonight will please and delight in a variety of ways, I’ll be elsewhere, soaking up new music vibes at the Island Stage where the Birthday Boys will play a set of their whiskey-soaked rock.

And Rock Plaza Central play the Lake Stage at 9 p.m. and I love them mainly because they sound like Neutral Milk Hotel and put lots of trumpets in their music. I love the horns!

I’ll probably close the night out with USS and their manic DJ energy on the Island Stage at 10 p.m.
