John Craigie’s performance at The Ogden Theater on December 16th was a special night of music and laughter. The solo acoustic set was filled with humor, wit, and just a touch of political commentary. Craigie’s unique approach to music and storytelling kept the audience engaged throughout the entire show.
For anyone that’s read my work on this site over the years, it’s probably no surprise to see this piece posted. This was my 16th Folks Fest and it still holds every bit of the magic of that first one all those years ago, and probably more. My wife and I started going to this glorious August event shortly after we started dating. We’ve since married and had a daughter who has been to every Folks Fest that has taken place during her lifetime. She’s grown up at Planet Bluegrass and now, at nine years old, we don’t hesitate to let her have the run of the Festival grounds over the course of the weekend.
