San Fermin

Today (20140322) I went to a concert with my friends to listen to San Fermin, a band that will be playing at this year's Firefly Music Festival. Opening for them was a local band from Maryland, Joy Classic.

Although I had briefly listened to San Fermin's album prior to buying a ticket, it was a much different experience to hear them live. I went from feeling "Okay, I dig this music..." to "Wow, this band has great music!"

While the album has a couple instrumental pieces, the band, at far as I could tell, only performed the songs that had lyrics. An almost complete setlist can be found below.

Rae Cassidy (Lead Vocals) and Allen Tate (Lead Vocals)

Opening for San Fermin was a band named Joy Classic. While I enjoyed the music, the lead singer had on several occasions, in the middle of songs, asked for corrections from the audio booth regarding volume balancing. While there is a level of quality associated with making corrections in the middle of a song, I don't think such corrections should be made known to the audience. From my layman perspective, such audible corrections should be made in between songs, not during a song.
