Day 2 started off with a bang, a loud and maniacal one, with my friends from Quiet Company. They played 11am like it was midnight. Lots of energy, full band, singers, cello, trombone, two keyboards. It’s big. I had to smile as I walked out of the crowd and heard a random man say “That’s the best act I’ve seen all weekend.” Check them out. Rufus Wainwright was also outstanding.

Yes, it rained, but we’re veterans here at ACL Fest. And it rained during the night, so today should be interesting.
