I thought that this workshop was really great because it combined the artists performing there own songs alone, and them performing together. Joel Plaskett and Jill Barber, both coming from Nova Scotia, were great together and played many of each others songs together.
Jill Barber singer on stage. She had a great and unique voice. Her music is kind of hard to describe. I guess you could say it was folk rock, but whatever it was, it was excellent!
Joel Plaskett playing a tiny keyboard that he bought at Value Village during his song Rewind, Rewind, Rewind from his triple album 3. Jill Barber joined Joel in this song and it sounded amazing!
Johnny Flynn, joined by his band the Sussex Wit, was also very good! His music was also very unique, mixing folk, country, blues and rock. It was an amazing fusion of genres and it all came out into excellent music.
All of them joined in the end for one song. Together it was mega-amazing, with all their amazing musical powers all blending into one :). It was fantastic.
Johnny Flynn is also playing on the Main Stage tonight at 6:00 PM, so visit this blog for a review and update about that show. Also playing tonight is Iron and Wine, who will probably also have an excellent show.
So for those of you who weren't able to make it to the festival, stayed tuned, but for those of you who are here, I'll see you on the hill!

Jill Barber has such a fantastic voice - I'm sure that she and Joel P. sounded great together. So glad that you've already had some stellar workshops. And the fest has really only just begun! :-)
