Yesterday Heather and I met up with Mikael at Folk Fest to see Neko Case. I invited Heather since I knew she was a huge Neko Case fan and I went since I trust my sisters taste in music. I wasn't disappointed.

Happily, and unlike the day before, it didn't rain but the weather was slightly cold for this time of year. That didn't detract from the experience since we still managed to have a lot of fun listening, dancing, and slipping in the mud.

I enjoy going to Folk Fest since it is a great way to be exposed to new types of music. I have a rather narrow range of genres I listen to and I don't listen to the radio, so my music often lacks slightly in diversity. Yesterday I learned an appreciation for not only Neko Case, but also for Mirah and the Del McCoury Band. These are some artists I would previously never have listened to of my own volition, but after hearing them at Folk Fest I definitely want to hear more.
