Bluesfest: Autumn's Canon

I next made a brief stop to see Autumn's Canon, of which I knew nothing. I did manage to recognize a few of the players, including guitarist Marty Sobb and Silver Creek bassist Mark LaForet. The band scored some major dollars in the Big Money Shot and favour rootsy rock in the vein of Tom Petty and early Wilco.

Speaking of Marty and Mark, here they are in faceoff action!

They played a show a week ago at the Live Lounge and appear to have a clean slate for now.
