Well, I made it through another festival, even though I Stopoverdid it opening night. I think I’ll do this random factoid style… Enjoyed 31 bands over the 3 nights. Staying in a loft over Hang Fire feels a little wrong…
The 7th annual Statts Fest — a grand community gathering to support Jason Statts, who was paralyzed in a senseless Savannah shooting — was held last weekend at Grayson Stadium. Check out Friends of Statts on Facebook for tons more…
