Colorado band "Elephant Revival" performed two sets at the Albino Skunk Music Festival, and the crowd enjoyed every minute of their performance.

Bonnie Paine's vocals and washboard playing are almost hypnotizing, and the rest of the band are equally amazing at their respective instruments.

It is difficult to categorize Elephant Revival's music, so we'll avoid the classic labels and just call it "INCREDIBLE".

It was at Smiley's Acoustic Cafe, back in December of 2011, that I met the talented musicians of Late To Bloom. Since then, I have been to several of their shows. Shane, Jeff, Jamey, Lance and Wilson never disappoint. This band is original, with their own original songs and sound. For more than two decades they have been writing and recording "their own unique blend of music."

I last caught up with them in June, at Wild Wings Café, in Greenville, SC. It was the final round of the Wild Wing's Last Band Standing contest. That night, I also had the pleasure of speaking with venue manager and fellow musician, Nathan Cox. I asked him to send me his thoughts on Late To Bloom.

Dread Clampitt Performed "With The Help Of Your Love" at the Albino Skunk Music Festival 2012, and Carolina Mixer was there to capture it. When Grayton Beach, FL band, Dread Clampitt brings their mixture of rock, country, blues, soul, and a few other styles to the stage, it always makes for a great time.
