4/20 at Main Street Museum

So yesterday was a big day for Main Street Museum in White River Junction, Vermont. The evening began at 4pm with A potluck spread of good nosh to which i contributed some spicy deviled eggs. At 5pm the screening of Custodian, an independent film by Loren Howard was shown. Quite a few local musicians were featured in the movie and the packed house thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Loren and the cast did a quick Q&A afterwords and the camaraderie between them was obvious. Then the live music began. First up was Ratmilk. For a band with almost no experience they did an excellent job. They also brought a legion of friends with them who kept the energy up for the whole set. Next was The Y Lie, a two piece featuring a synth guy and an electric ukulele guy with some cool animation projected behind them. Before seeing this band I had been planning to get a checkered dress shirt to wear onstage but I now see that void in the local music scene is already filled and I can spend that money elsewhere. The final band of the evening was McAsh. I was at this band's first gig 24 years ago this week and I am astounded that they have stayed together this long. They were good back then, and they are even better now. So fucking tight! I left with their new EP on CD. It was an excellent evening of 4/20 entertainment and, as always, the volunteer staff at the Main Street Museum went above and beyond putting on a fun, safe, and professional show for everyone.
