I've been a fan of Jon Snodgrass since the early aughts when I first saw Drag The River. I worked backwards from their into the Armchair Martian catalog. I saw Drag The River a whole lot over the years. I am such a big fan we were going to have them play our wedding in 2008 but they broke up for awhile before hand so it never happened. I did see them play at friends wedding a few years later.
I had already been planning on going to this Punk Rock Saves Lives benefit show anyway. The line up was really great with Jon Snodgrass, Chad Price from Drag The River and All's new band The Chad Price Peace Coalition, SPELLS, Venomous Pinks, 1876, Middle Age Queers, and a some others. Really fun day for a good cause.
Jon had messaged me the night before asking if I was coming out. I said yes and he said "bring your tape recorder thingy, I think your going to want to capture something special tomorrow". I thought that maybe him and Chad might play some songs together. Wasn't sure. Turn out Jon was joined at the end of his solo set by Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü fame for a set of Hüsker Dü songs!!! Fun times for the small crowd that was their early.

I think this turned out pretty nice thanks to the tall umbrella that I used as a wind break and mic stand.
