Michael Ford’s stage presence is still powerful and mesmerizing, and the rest of the band has come together as bonafide rock n rollers. After watching them play everything from house parties to Ryman opening slots, seeing thousands of people push closer to the stage during their short thirty minute set made some Nashvillians feel a little bit like proud parents. When The Apache Relay switched time slots, the crowd bustled back and forth between stages, piling up by the main stage to see these southern sweethearts. The only girls holding down the stage at the festival, they refreshed the red-bull chugging crowds on the side stage. Nashville’s own Mike Harris (The Apache Relay) joined them-and as far as I could tell, every other band-on stage at the very least to introduce his dear friends.Īs the crowds tried to navigate the strange alcohol restrictions and the long ATM lines, Haim took the stage and provided the festival with their daily dose of LA and Estrogen. They brought a surprising amount of energy to a smaller crowd on the smaller of the two stages, The Cumberland stage, and their rendition of Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” won me over seconds into the song. My day started off with a local IPA and a pepperoni and artichoke pizza, and slowly bled into a dry summer day with supersized Bud Lights and the sweet sounds of Simone Felice. The result? A lot of fun for the bands and the fans, a lot of money for the bands, and the biggest economic gain most of these towns have seen since the Industrial Revolution. Drink a lot of overpriced local beers, watch people complete needlepoint in between band sets, lose all cell phone service, stand in two states at the same time, and get your GOTR passport stamped so you can put pictures of it on Instagram. The Gentelemen of the Road stopover tour is genius by nature: Stop in a middle-of-nowhere town for a mini-festival including Mumford and a handpicked line up of some of their friends and favorite bands. The same probably can’t be said of all of the boisterous fans who showed up in Bristol on Saturday to partake in the second stopover date on Mumford and Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road tour. This time, playing to an overjoyed crowd on a surprisingly cool August night in either Virginia or Tennessee-I’m still not sure– Marcus & Co didn’t vomit during any songs.
