03 May SunFest Photos: Day One

Posted at 15:53h in Blog by

SunFest is off to a terrific start. Yesterday was a perfect taste of what the next four days have in store.

First on deck was Mean Creek, the four-piece Boston band currently touring with the Counting Crows. Despite a tiny crowd, the band did their best to deliver a great set and not melt in our Florida heat.


The Mean Creek crowd.


This little nugget was rocking a mean air guitar throughout the band’s set. Chris Keene called the young rocker one of the “coolest guys” he’s ever seen. We were equally impressed.


Remove Before Flight played the Tire Kingdom stage as the crowds began to grow.


Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds had a party on stage with a nine-piece band, including four brass instruments.


Coheed and Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez belted out crowd favorites as the fans sang (and moshed) along.
