I wanted some good music like Jake Cornell Trio, but the show didn't deliver. The atmosphere felt more like a bar band with a $40 cover and $12 drinks. In the lawn, all you could hear was Jake's guitar and vocals. Musically, I didn't feel anything - he overshadowed his band with unnecessary noodling. His stage presence was like a giant ball of id that got old quickly. If you came with friends to smoke and drink, you probably had a better time. But if you wanted to listen to actual music, you left disappointed. Someone talking next to you would drown out the music, it was that quiet.
