One of the best things about our two annual massive festivals is the spillover – free shows and cheap shows and free drinks and after parties and such. Case in point, this morning on the sun-dappled lawn behind the downtown Four Seasons, for a $5 donation fee, I caught a set from Sahara Smith, the newest youth export from Wimberley, who killed it, then a set from Blind Pilot, who are from Portland and so aren’t really supposed to get coverage here, but nevertheless, excellent show my northwestern brethren, and then one from none other than the melanin-challenged Britt Daniel and his operation Spoon. My neighbor and fellow audience member theorized ragweed allergies as the issue, but for whatever reason he turned in a shortened, not particularly vibrant set – but Spoon even at their worst are quite good. Here’s hoping he recovers somewhat to put on a show for the Zilker masses.
