Good stuff!

Definitely second the comment about Liz Snyder. Anyone know where she'll be playing next? Also does anyone remember the poem from Costa's performance or the name of the writer?

Liz Snyder

Killed it. Absolutely fantastic. I've heard she'll be performing with a few other acts at The Rookery tonight at 5:30. Also she'll be harmonizing in another act during Folk Fest on Sunday at 3:15.

Liz Snyder was amazing. That

Liz Snyder was amazing. That Patrick Troll, though.. he was quite incredible as well. Without him, there'd have been no whiskey. ESPECIALLY no class.
