Bluesfest: Blitzen Trapper

On to another one of Bluesfest's finest shows, at least as far as my classic-rock loving ears are concerned: Blitzen Trapper. I enjoyed Wild Mountain Nation when it came out five years ago, but my attention wandered away until catching them on the Electro Stage, where their tunes got a serious jolt of rock'n'roll in the live setting.

Keyboard action! With Eric Earley, bassist Michael Van Pelt and Marty Marquis at right.



The whole lot! With axeman Erik Menteer and drummer Brian Koch.



Guitar action!



Marty goes acoustic.



Brian hits!



Eric sings!



Extra Van Pelt!



Guitar action!



And so on!



Pick-sliding action!



The sun was going down ... plus headbanging action!



Right now they're just chilling over the holidays.
