Pre-Festival Thoughts:
Bahamas is the stage name for Afie Jurvanen and I was totally digging the guitar, vocals, and overall style of his music. In particular, I ranked his music an 8 out of 10 (tied for 5th) and my desire to see him perform at 9 out of 10 (tied for 6th).


Above Average: 'Don't You Want Me ft. The Weather Station' -- great cover (original by The Human League), though it hasn't show up on any of his setlist.fm setlists, 'Never Again' -- I like the rhythm/pace of this song, it also has a nice end following the build-up, 'Sunshine Blues'
Slightly Above Average: ~
On The Fence: ~


Setlist:
1) All I've Ever Known
2) I Got You Babe
3) Caught Me Thinkin'
4) Already Yours
5) Southern Drawl
6) Can't Take You With Me


7) Like a Wind
8) Waves
9) I Had It All
10) Nothing To Me Now -- guitar slide
11) Never Again
12) Your Sweet Touch
13) All the Time



Post-Festival Thoughts:
Among his current top played songs on setlist.fm, Bahamas did not play Lost in the Light (this is also his second most popular song on Spotify).

The music was super mellow compared to a lot of music I'd been hearing. Perhaps this was surprising to me because I had only remembered enjoying Bahamas's music and not what it sounded like. With that being said, I still found his music enjoyable.
