Folk Fest: Rosanne Cash vs. Elliott Brood
We have a winner!
People were inexplicably sitting down for Buck 65's set on Stage 5 this afternoon. Lots and lots of very enthusiastic people, mind you. Mr. Rich Terfry was as solidly entertaining as he ever is, and offered up an intriguing version of Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire" after bringing on his friend Marnie Herald to help with "Gee Wiz".

"We're competing with the Main Stage, louder!" demanded vocalist-guitarist Mark Sasso, during a bruising "Without Again". And loud they were, although Roseanne Cash most definitely had the advantage over on the Main Stage.
