05 May Did Anybody Catch Graham’s Number?

This Georgia-based trio—two hair farmers and a hairless dude on drums—were yesterday’s sweet surprise. There’s  always more college kids looking for a good time, so there’s always more college bands finding an audience, and Graham’s Number found it. They blasted through a super-tight 40-minute set on the Tire Kingdom Stage yesterday, appealing to the tie-dye wearers on the lawn, of which there were many of all ages. Playing a rocking reggae-funk amalgam, they were noodly and rubbery in a classical jam-band-ish way. They featured mostly originals but dropped in a goony, energized cover of “Ghostbusters”—spot on except for changing the shouted chorus to the band’s name. Apparently their guitarist drove from Georgia straight to SunFest to make their gig. We’re glad they did.
