Big Ticket Festival

I just got back from an amazing weekend at the Big Ticket Festival in Michigan. I got to see some of my favorite bands and artists like Red Umbrella, Heath McNease and Barlow Girl, and some bands I'd never heard of before like Disciple and Sevenglory. I was excited that I got there in time for the first performance of the day: Heath McNease. I'd heard him a couple times before and have one of his CD's, and he's the only southern Christian rapper I've ever heard, and his lyrics are worth looking at. I've only heard some of his acoustic but what I've heard is very lullaby-like and nothing like his rap, but still good. Barlow Girl is amazing, even though I missed my favorite song, Never Alone, because I tried to get a freezing cold shower in and ended up not rinsing my hair thoroughly. Yetch. But I still enjoyed listening to them and I like that every member of Barlow Girl is multi-talented. Red Umbrella sings an amazing song called Storm Warning, which I enjoyed. Their music is also very lullaby-esque, and since I hadn't seen them perform in a long time, it made seeing them even more of a treat.
