Eugene Edwards and his Band will appear on Stage One following BombaChante in the mid afternoon slot, Sunday, June 7 at the Lummis Day Festival.
Here’s a quote from Edwards’ website: “I’d like to be thought of as the guy who reintroduced whatever it was that Springsteen, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello – the post-Dylan songwriters – had. And, like The Clash has shown that if you have just one person standing in front of you, you owe it to them to sweat every bit that you have in your body – I want to be the guy who, if they want to hear one more song, I am ready to give it to them. If they’re still standing at the end of a 45-minute set, I feel like I’ve done something wrong.”
The 4th annual Lummis Day will take place at three locations: Lummis Home (poetry and music from 10:30am-noon), Sycamore Grove Park (music, dance, theater and food from12:30pm-7:30pm) and Casa de Adobe (art exhibits, from 1:00pm-6:00pm).
