Ben de la Cour sent us this last week.

„There are a lot of festivals out there. Almost none provide the kind of experience Static Roots does. So much love and attention to detail is painted into every nook and cranny and it shows. I can’t wait to come back.“

Ben played the Friday alongside Ger Moloney on accordion. ‚Amazing Grace (Slight Return)‘, ‚Appalachian Book of the Dead‘, ‚Uncle Boudreaux Went to Texas‘, and a reading of the traditional ‚Lakes of Pontchartrain‘ that Nick West at Bucketfull Of Brains called the highlight of the set.

Musicians play a lot of festivals in a year. Most of them blur. When one of them writes to say they cannot wait to come back, that is worth more than any review.

Thank you, Ben. For the set, for the words, and for meaning them.
