Berwick event honors Stuart tanks, veterans

<p>Unyielding rain dampened clothes but not spirits Saturday as the Peach Music Festival continued at the Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton.</p><p>Inclement weather, and presumably-peak attendance, brought concert-goers together under the massive main-stage tent, during a day that saw high-profile bands play in front of thousands and acts on the rise entertain for few who braved the elements to see open-air shows.</p><p>The day&#8217;s highlights included the soulful psychedelia of the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, a nostalgic moment when jam band moe. joined Little Feat for a performance of Little Feat&#8217;s celebrated live album, a rain-defiant performance by Nashville songwriter Nicki Bluhm and her band, and a change of pace by blues rockers Gov&#8217;t Mule in playing a full set of Pink Floyd.</p><p>Chris Robinson Brotherhood, fronted by its namesake and former Black Crowes frontman, offered a rousing afternoon set of blues-rock and soul layered with psychedelic tones.</p><p>The wispy jam of &#8220;Good To Know&#8221; introduced guitarist Neil Casale&#8217;s ringing solo work and re-familiarized the audience with Robinson&#8217;s full-bodied vocals. Consciousness-altering number &#8220;Narcissus Soaking Wet&#8221; followed, bringing the psych-rock to a fever pitch, and late-set rocker &#8220;Rosalee&#8221; reminded listeners of Robinson&#8217;s Southern rock roots. The set ended with an experimentally pleasant cover of The Coasters R&amp;B staple &#8220;I&#8217;m A Hog For You.&#8221;</p><p>Taking the early-evening slot for second day in a row, jam ensemble moe. welcomed Little Feat &#8212; the classic-rock era fusion group that combines West Coast rock and Southern boogie &#8212; along with the Turkuaz Horns, onstage to perform the elder statesmen&#8217;s &#8220;Waiting For Columbus.&#8221;</p><p>With the muscular presence of two bass players, the low end demanded attention on &#8220;Fat Man In The Bath Tub,&#8221; and gave way to a heightening organ interlude by Little Feat keybordist Bill Payne. Little Feat guitarists Fred Tackett and Paul Barrere showed their prowess on &#8220;Day Or Night,&#8221; when they each took an instrumental solo on the creeping rock tune, and moe. fretman Chuck Garvey delivered some harrowing notes on &#8220;Mercenary Territory.&#8221;</p><p>Nicki Bluhm and her band travelled from Nashville to brave the Northeastern Pennsylvania weather, and although few were willing to stand in the rain before the set began, Bluhm&#8217;s mix of alt-country, rock and soul brought people to the waterpark stage.</p><p>Starting with the rocker, &#8220;Things I&#8217;ve Done,&#8221; Bluhm established her powerful voice and introduced her backing musicians, consisting of drummer Lemuel Hayes, lead guitarist John McNally, multi-instrumentalist Kellen Wenrich, keyboard player Jeff Adamczyk and bassist Cameron Carrus.</p><p>Adamczyk and McNally played wailing solos as Bluhm crooned her passionate version of Dan Penn&#8217;s &#8220;I Hate You,&#8221; and the group got soulful on &#8220;Can&#8217;t Fool The Fool.&#8221;</p><p>The latest set of the day saw blues-rock freight train Gov&#8217;t Mule take on the psychedelic catalog of Pink Floyd. Disturbing organ work set the stage and Mule opened with &#8220;Echoes,&#8221; followed by &#8220;One of These Days.&#8221;</p><p>Guitarist and vocalist Warren Haynes&#8217; Southern rock style worked well in interpreting Floyd guitarist David Gilmore&#8217;s signature licks, and before set&#8217;s end, Mule powered through moving renditions of &#8220;Shine On You Crazy Diamond,&#8221; &#8220;Have A Cigar&#8221; and &#8220;Welcome To The Machine,&#8221; laying out a full spectrum of hard-charging and mind-expanding classics.</p><style>
