DAM SHOW' A SUCCESS
A drum workshop by Buddhahood was one of the audience participation events during last weekend's Dam Show. For most of the two-day festival, a record crowd relaxed on lawn chairs and blankets while bands from Tennessee, Virginia, Massachusetts and elsewhere performed bluegrass, country, folk, rock and other music not as easily defined. Julie Barrett Cataldo (shown) performed with Freakish Owl Boy as part of Saturday afternoon's program. See more from the sixth annual Dam Show on page 8.

Next year's show has already been scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26. More...
