Bruins Breakdown Shakedown

Ahh, The Farm. One of the coolest venues I have ever been to. There's a volleyball court outside for crying out loud, who doesn't love that? Located in historic Essex, The Farm is a bar and grille where sports and live music collide. While a majority of the bar is watching the Bruins in overtime, Fiddlehead begins their set in a foggy, light-speed haze. Even though the beginning of their set is slowed by the game, they still bring it and start to build a crowd.

By the time Space Cream and Nicotine roll around, the crowd is really bumping. The Farm has to be one of the most hospitable places I have been in a while. Everyone is incredibly nice and friendly. Pat Nelson's SG sings from the soul tonight, and no broken strings! Strakus both dominates the SYB pedal and his Jazz Master in his epic battle against the Blorg. Kevin and Pat both combat the lack of a second mic in style. Tim Johnson rides the snake on a very shiny Gretsch kit! Desirae paints another masterpiece. Felipe's light show is out of this world.

Speaking of WORLDS, lets talk about OUR OWN WORLD for a moment, shall we? They are an incredibly awesome band with very solid licks. I really like how the lead guitar player rips a Les Paul, I haven't seen one of those since Zubru at Dodge street! They play an excellent set filled with great tunes. They are also a very agreeable and friendly bunch of guys. I definitely see Fiddlehead and Our Own World playing together again in the future.

Apparently now Fiddlehead is being played on College radio. Pretty soon that ole Blorg is going to have to make a deal here because the lads are just getting too big for their britches. In fact, the whole jam scene around Beverly, Salem and Lynn is just exploding. Pretty soon I see some of these bands touring the country, playing huge festivals and creating music all over the world. Stay tuned for more Fiddlefun!
