  • the Blais Mountain Music and Arts festival was awesome!
    I went to see these guys preform and for some real young folks they got tons of talent... great show!
    it got rained out in the end, SUPER STACK did their best to coax the rain with Their song RAINDANCE and it subsided for a bit but the set got cut short due to heavy rains, but as they prepared to cut off the power SUPERSTACK got the crowd to clap out a good beat and we kept it going Unplugged &in the dark, to bark out some more solid jams with crowd participation... now that's how you keep it going!!!!
    Great job!!!!
    Also, BLACKWATER was awseome & I've been humming the tunes all week long!

    great show with great talent!
    well done, too bad about the rain!
    See you all next year
    PEACE
