Wow! What a start to what seems to be one of the best MerleFest in years. I am a photographer for MerleFest so I was able to walk around today and enjoy the great bands that played as well as capture moments within the festival. Usually, Thursdays are a little bit boring. Most of the larger acts don’t play until Friday or Saturday but that is not the case with this year. Earlier in the day, the Duhks played a killer set on the Watson Stage and later in the night, Taj Mahal and Zac Brown Band entertained like no other. It was truly a great start to an already amazing festival. Fridays line up promises to be a great day of music with performances from Dierks Bentley, Sam Bush, and Little Feat. I will be posting photos tomorrow night of Friday’s performances. Until then, enjoy these shots taken today.
