Weekend review: MAWP rocking

Music and Arts in Wright Park was amazing, and I’m not a music guy. It was just fun, fun stuff.

The event was not only well attended but well attended by hundreds of rockers and hippies and children and teens and yuppies. The mix created the magic.

The roster of Saturday’s free concert bash at Wright Park included: Twink the Wonderkid, Girl Trouble, Clear Cut the City, The Speans, C.F.A., Stone Axe, I Defy, The Dignitaries, Good Gravy, Si Si Si, Pioneers West, James Hunnicutt, Lozen, The F—-ing Eagles and Gold Teeth taking to the stage as fast as turnaround would allow. The music never stopped for the whole seven-hour gig.

For those who don’t know any of the bands, they were a mix of rock and metal and old-school rockabilly. All was music I wouldn’t likely seek out, but glad I heard it.
The stand out of the show for me was Lozen, a two-women drum and guitar duo with a raw sound melding Native American chant-and-drum riffs and rock. It was amazing.
