I did a lot of running around backstage at Sasquatch over the long holiday weekend chatting with musicians about touring all summer, hanging out at music festivals, and more. I've rounded up the final bits of conversations I had with Dead Confederate, Newton Faulkner, and Joshua Morrison. Dead Confederate These guys requested I interview them in the V.I.P.

I've had a day to decompress, gather my notes and reflect on some of the sights and sounds from my time in George, WA and now I'm ready to share some more of my interviews. First I chatted with Rainn Wilson. Next up: The Whigs, a young band out of Athens, GA who are on tour promoting their second album Mission Control (released on Dave Matthews' label).

While many of you were reveling in BBQs and sunshine over Memorial Day weekend, I ventured north for the 2008 Sasquatch Music Festival and it was so much fun! Soon I'll share with you my general take on the bands I got to watch perform and interview. However, before I could even get to the music my first day on the scene, I noticed an airplane circling round overhead with a banner promoting the film The Rocker and then suddenly I was surrounded by teenagers sporting bandanas with the movie's logo.

Tonight I catch my flight and head out yonder to the Sasquatch Music Festival. My sources tell me it's currently raining in Seattle so hopefully beyond the mountains the sun is shining. Otherwise, I might be in for a little more adventure than I had in mind.

I'm gearing up for Sasquatch and just thinking about the Columbia River Gorge in the sunshine and listening to good, live music gets my heart pounding with excitement. This week I've been running down some of the artists and bands I'm looking forward to seeing including The Kooks and Joshua Morrison. If there is one genre of music that matches my outdoor music festival-loving soul, it's soulful alt-country by female singers of the Lucinda Williams tradition, and Kathleen Edwards is one of the greatest.
