For the first time since 2006, Galactic cut the brake lines and went full steam ahead at The Maple Leaf. The monster two set show was heavy on old classics, and when they tore into the set closing “Crazyhorse Mongoose“, the Leaf was undoubtedly the epicenter of the End-Of-The-World funk outbreak.
One More Shot: Colin Lake Band || d.b.a. 2012
Colin and his band have been simply on a tear of late. This evening was no different, showcasing an updated band (including Eric Heigle, most recently of Ernie Vincent & The Top Notes) and a fierce take on some of his older material. If you haven’t heard him, start at the bottom.

Papa Gros Funk held down the last headlining spot at the now defunct River Stage, where so many great acts had played in years prior. Wish I would have known.
