REVIEW: Yarn wraps itself around MeadowGrass fans By: Warren Epstein, The Gazette
BLACK FOREST - Yarn will never mean just knitting fodder anymore, not to the 1,500-some music fans at this weekend's MeadowGrass festival at La Foret Conference Center.
A six-piece New York band by that name turned the festival, now in its third year, into a raucus roadhouse on Saturday night, as it exploded with rock 'n' roll, gospel, country, Celtic and more. Most of the songs were originals, but they also did a phenomenal cover of Lou Reed's classic "Walk on the Wild Side."
Yarn played at 6 p.m. Saturday and clearly upstaged the headliner, John Doe, following a pattern that started on Friday, when Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band blew away headliner Hot Buttered Rum.
