As usual, the Rock the Garden did a great job organizing the music festival. Although the original scheduled was delayed about 30 minutes, because of the weather... once the music started, they did an amazing job getting things back on track.

We’ve covered a lot of music festivals in the area, and Rock the Garden has always been our favorite because it’s very well organized. Everything from extra additional entry points to friendly security to food trucks to free water area, it’s always a delight to attend Rock the Garden.

Expect more photos soon, this is just a quick post to get the main setlist and some photos online. Stay tuned...

Some quick notes:

Low Cut Connie blew us away. Their explosive set even had Nikki Lane wanting to attend the Philadelphia band's upcoming show at First Avenue on November 1st.

It’s a shame, but London’s Shame had to cancel their appearance. They were replaced by U.S. Girls, who said, “We’re the best replacement you'll ever get.”

Kamasi Washington introduced us to his father (Rickey Washington) on soprano sax for the jazzy song “The Rhythm Changes” (featuring Patrice Quinn on vocals). Quite fitting, especially on Father’s Day weekend.

Clearly the best thing about Rock the Garden was on Feist’s set. The Current’s Mark Wheat walked on to help sing “Century”.... which is “almost as long as it’s been since Feist played in the Twin Cities.” The Canadian singer was last seen at the Minnesota Zoo in 2012, and before that in 2007 at Pantages Theatre.

Local rhymesayer P.O.S. had the entire Garden Stage singing along to every word on his set. He has an incredible local following. Highlight of his set was bringing on Dwynell Roland to “Get Down”.

Father John Misty had a whole Minnesota orchestra behind him (players Leah Ottman/LOTT, Cameron Kinghorn, the Laurels String Quartet, Dan Lawonn, and Devan Moran).
