There is going to be a free music festival in Lafayette today (9/7/08), the Turn Indiana Blue Music Festival. Its purpose is to promote local candidates and encourage citizens to play an active role in their community. It will run from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and feature bands on two stages at Riehle Plaza in downtown Lafayette and on the pedestrian bridge going over the Wabash to West Lafayette. The promotional site says that it will include local food vendors — which I hope translates into what I term “booth food,” the presence of which turns me from an indifferent eater into a bottomless pit.
The bands playing are:
Kristopher Roe of the Ataris
Green Room Rockers
Old School
Woodstove Flapjacks
No Apparent Reason
Atari Logic
Alaska Westwind
Lush
New York Street
Lincoln Street Band
Ben Ezra
Crash Landing
Blind Boy
Update Amy, the kids, and I went for a few hours and had a nice time. Not listed above, but very enjoyable was Mike Reeb and the Consequences. Most of the music was more upbeat, but I particularly liked “It’s Been a Real Hard Year.”
