Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Stevie Wonder tonight was splendid, awesome and simply wonderful (thank you, i'll be here all week). Two sets with a short 15 - 20 minute intermission and he may have played for over a three hour run time. Closed with Higher Ground and Superstition. Its the Songs in the Key of Life tour so he played that entire release. There was a Blowing in The Wind jam at one point on a small stringed instrument that I couldn't name although I think it is a common feature for him so I am sure someone else could point it out. The New Orleans orchestra string section helped him out and at one point he got one of them to start doing a violin jam with his horn section. Really very entertaining all around, vocalists on stage and additional keys players were both very good. Also two drummers and two percussionists who kept it all moving along, I was very impressed with the drummers. I highly recommend checking it out if he is coming to your area. - Also I feel like it is worth noting that I got in the door for $20. StubHub $17 plus their fee. For as much as people complain about StubHub and what happens to the secondary pricing for in demand shows, like lets say GD50 Chicago as a completely random example, it also can help you get in the door quite cheaply. Stubhub is not an evil entity. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

Interested in a review..love Yarn and they are like a home show for me also. Think they have a new member but not sure who that is. Will get to see the new lineup first weekend in May

Unfortunately I had to miss railroad earth on Wednesday. I was just too tired to make it happen but friends of mine who went said they played a really good set.
Thursday evening was North Mississippi AllStars + Ander Osborne (billed as North Mississippi Osborne) and they were great. Played a good mix of old stuff and new stuff off their recently released album. They played together for most of the evening but North Mississippi finished the set off by themselves for the last few songs.
We had a BBQ festival / benefit called Hogs for the Cause which is a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer. This year they started focusing a lot more on music and Friday I got to the festival in time for Strand of Oaks, Earphunk and Drive By Truckers. Saturday I saw Little Freddie King Blues Band, Wood Brothers, George Porter Jr. & Runnin Pardners, J Roddy Waltson & The Business as well as Tab Benoit.
Strand of Oaks -a group I had never heard of before and they were a little odd to my ear but not too bad, I probably need to give them another listen before making up my mind about them.
Earphunk - local funk band that has been doing a lot of touring lately and starting to make a name for themselves, I really like them and if you have a chance definitely give them a shot
Drive By Truckers - there seemed to be some trouble with the mix so it wasn't one of the better DBT shows I've seen but still fun.
Little Freddie King - just a great blues band who makes the rounds around here a lot. I always enjoy seeing some classic blues.
Wood Brothers - second time seeing them with Lockn last year being the first. They were awesome again, I love how they rock out a lot more than you would normally think with this genre
George Porter Jr. - is awesome as always, played lovelight which I had never heard him do before and also played Sugaree and some of his other staples. Really hoping for GPJ at Lockn this year.
J Roddy Walston - Had never heard of him before but it was real good and would definitely recommend checking him out. A full day of drinking started to catch up with me and I talked to a cousin of mine for a bit so that's all I can really say.
Tab Benoit - another local artist who always lays down a solid show and is worth seeing.
All in all it was a fun little 2 day festival - $40 entry for both days and plenty of great bbq to eat. Perfect weather and a great way to kick off festival season.

Yarn really is a great jam-band as you sort of never know what you are going to get--last two times I've seen them were one show that jammed hard and one that was quite experimental. Can't wait to see what we get Thursday.
