Trevor rocks the dreads, Brian Lang handles the low end, Aaron Dugan goes electric.
Chris Steele thumps merrily away.
Trevor sings!
And, er, that's all, since I went off to the Subway Stage to see if I could take some Sauce Boss photos. He's always good for a snap or two ... alas, by the time I arrived, only his gumbo remained.
Up next were Paul Rishell and Annie Raines, who keep things bluesy on resonator and harp. Here's Paul doing a little soundchecking.
Annie works the harp.
A solid duo, but they weren't tickling my earlobes so I went off to the Blacksheep tent to check out their latest Afrobeat offering, The Occidental Brothers Dance Band International. These brothers actually hail from Chicago, but they have a jones for the highlife sounds of Africa. They keep things pretty traditional.
Here we have bassist Joshua Ramos and guitarist Nathaniel Braddock.
More Nathaniel!
Over on the left we have alto saxophonist Greg Ward and guitarist Antonio Carella (trying his hand at a little percussion).
More Joshua, and drummer Makaya McCraven.
Most importantly, here's Samba Mapangala, Congolese star and noted frontman of Orchestra Virunga.
More Mapangala!
A man must dance.
Alto action!
More Antonio!
The whole lot!
After that it was off to another sort of world music.
