Forecastle day 2!

We started our second day in Louisville pretty early, after smashing the hotels five star breakfast, we got ready and were out the door by 12:30
we explored downtown and little bit, then to the festival we go!
first thing in, i ate a lobster roll from the Longshot Lobstah food truck, so fresh and the bread was amazing! we also tried a little bit of wine from the Old 502 tent set up inside the festival-genius-particularly the Riesling and Bourbon barrel red, both delicious


 Then we headed to our first show
We first went to the Port Stage and saw The Wans, Then hopped to see Boy and Bear, then ran to another stage to see Spanish Gold rock our socks off, the back AGAIN to see Lord Huron, such an ethereal sound they have, Jason Isbell was up after that, with a set full of the crowd singing along, you could just tell he was really enjoying himself, I left his set a little early to catch Band of Horses, a band I used to like when I was a teenager, still can't dissapoint,


 Then y'all, it happened, Dwight Yoakam, charming as ever and always cracking a joke, this was my second time with Dwight and I loved every second of it.

And last was the incomparable Jack White, he came on the stage in a head banging, guitar playing fury, belting out hit after hit, he gave a shout out to Dwight and also did a little riff on 99 problems,
he close the show with Seven Nation Army and the crowd went fucking nuts, even as we were leaving people were still chanting that melodic entry to the song.
It was an amazing day that just went by too fast
