Sun Peaks Resort

I love this band, they are consistent, put 150% out, and their lyrics and interesting arrangements top class. I like how they showcase the different members of the band equally, and I like how every song starts in a unique way, leading us along in a suspenseful sequence of layering of instruments/voice, crescendos, diminuendos, full stops, etc.. I love the folksy, Appalachian moments, interspersed with the rock rhythms. The drummer is extraordinaire. They have a playful, joyful presence. In smaller venues (like Caetani House) I could hear the lyrics better because the vocals were not over-powered by the instruments, in particular the base sound. At Sun Peaks I would have liked to hear the voices more. I went and got earplugs so I could sit with my friends half-way up the hill, but eventually went further up sans earplugs, so I could listen easily, and dance. The sound mixer was obviously looking for a particular sound, as he walked all over the hillside to check things, but the sound he got involved more distortion and was louder than I like. I would have appreciated a slightly lesser sound so I could sit closer and see the band's faces. I'm a musician, and a vocalist, so I can appreciate all the work that goes into such a performance. However, I am very thankful that I was able to experience this for free! It was a lovely evening. And two of my friends who are new to the band got to enjoy it as well. Thank-you to Sun Peaks.
