Fest Blog: Day 5

On Tuesday, we dropped Owen off at daycare and had another nice lunch downtown. We stopped by to see a Celtic band playing on our way home, and then picked Owen up. We decided to give him the day off from Musikfest, and just played around from him until his babysitter arrived. Mommy and Daddy had another nice night out at two concerts. First, we watched a show by Diego's Umbrella, who play a sort of gypsy rock with a little Mexican flavor. They were amazing - probably one of the best shows we've ever seen at Musikfest! At one point, both the fiddle player and one of the guitar players came down into the audience (while continuing to play)!

After that concert, we watched Scythian, who are Musikfest regulars. They play a nice hybrid of Celtic, gypsy, and eastern European music, and do an excellent job getting the audience involved with their shows. The highlight of the show was an accordion dance song that included bits of Biz Markie's "You Got What I Need", House of Pain's "Jump Around", and even Kris Kross's "Jump"! That's going way back!
