Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats at Forecastle Festival
When the 2017 Forecastle Festival schedule was released, Bob and I were excited to get the chance to see Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats here in Louisville. The Saturday afternoon show was just perfect -- great weather, a great crowd, and a really solid set.
If you've listened to any of Nathaniel Rateliff's music, you know it was a high-energy set, with influences ranging from roots/Americana to gospel to blues and soul. At times, there's some good old jam band mixed in with a little Bell Bottom Blues-era Clapton. I'm not a music writer, but I know it was a great set. Rateliff had a great rapport with the audience while playing a tight, fun set. His best-known tracks, Look It Here and S.O.B., were the big crowd-pleasers of the hour-long set, and I found myself wishing I could follow the band on down to Birmingham for the Sloss Festival the following night. I guess that's how music festival habits get formed.
Festival Season Ready: What to Wear to Forecastle
I'm getting so excited for Forecastle Festival, y'all! The musical lineup and the Bourbon Lodge presentations all promise to be fantastic, and -- fingers crossed -- the weather forecast is looking great! As I make my Forecastle plans, I thought I'd share a few finds for the festival weekend!
Fun Tanks
It's going to be hot, so I'm planning to wear tanks with shorts or breezy skirts. I love the L.L. Bean unshrinkable layering tanks, or one of these awesome tanks tops from local companies!
Sun protection
Sun protection is a must when you're outside all day. I have this J. Crew Factory sun hat, and it is a great quality piece for under $15! A bandana is always a great way to keep cool, and this Anchal Project pink bandana scarf is a stunning way to make a difference! (Sunscreen and shades are a must, as well!)
