Right my bucket list is not the same as everyones and mine from July 2024 needs to be updated since I have now seen SIX of the 24 listed.  Our luck was that they were both on the Dawes stage so we could get close and listen intently.  I didn&#8217;t realize that Lucy has been helping the Indigo Girls during Emily&#8217;s throat issues, and the Indigo Girls were also on the lineup.  We had seen them before so no bucket list there.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy jetted into the fest from NY where she was with her dad Loudon Wainwright III for his 80th birthday celebration.  She said she sang this song he wrote for her; and while it&#8217;s truly a powerful song, it does seem a little dark for a birthday party.  She did say seeing the crowd in front of her was better than the group she was with last night.  Yikes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Your Mother and I cover by Lucy Wainwright Roche at the Evanston Folk Festival\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/azDpEDzYvxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

They were a lot of fun, and I got a full song and two snippets to remember them by.  Yep sitting in a chair is frustrating, and one thing I didn&#8217;t like about the EFF.  They seemed to encourage blocking everyone&#8217;s view would the whole front being roped off for dancing.  Right 10% of the people dance, most just stand and watch blocking all the people who were there at the beginning and put their chairs down.  Rocky Mountain Folks Fest does this the best; they rope off an area on the side for standing only.  Oh you should see people get pissed if you stand in the sitting area too.  RMFF is probably the BEST run festival we&#8217;ve been to for many reasons, but that one hits home in this video.  Now saying that the full song we did get an attractive couple decide to dance, and to me that&#8217;s perfectly fine.  Of course I kept recording, they made a great memory and if you know them; let them know about the video.  Plus, it&#8217;s an awesome song about stacking FISH!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silver Weight by The Brudi Brothers with dancers Evanston Folk Festival #davesbasementtracks\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vzXMkGT3LKg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the one with two songs that shows all the standing.\u00a0 BTW Lori thought the boys were pretty cute too.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Two More Brudi Brother song from Evanston Folk Festival\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mJkK_QH-HaU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Right more writing and highlighting to come, and so visit that playlist and enjoy for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 When I saw that James McMurtry and Lucy Wainwright Roche were playing at the Evanston Folk Festival, I quickly cleared adding another fest to our 2026 list with my wife.\u00a0 Of course seeing the Indigo Girls and Sierra Hull were pretty cool, too.\u00a0 We had a blast and found out it was only in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7079046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[239679,239680,239681,239682],"tags":[96751,225931,3679,15763,5894],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-7079045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brudi-brothers","category-james-mcmurtry","category-lucy-wainwright-roche","category-tift-merritt","tag-dbt","tag-evanston","tag-festival","tag-folk","tag-recap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
