rogue wave

The final day of the first annual(?) All Points West festival featured a much different vibe than the more indie-tastic Friday and Saturday. The big name on the bill was Jack Johnson, whose set featured sit-ins from both Trey Anastasio and Matt Costa, who had both performed with their own bands earlier in the day. Other performers during the jam-friendly Sunday included Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cat Power and Amadou and Mariam on the main stage, and The Secret Machines, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and Rogue Wave holding down the other two. We wish we could have made it up to NYC for this event, but thankfully a whole bunch of other folks did.
