Montell Fish, an American singer, himself said “You guys are supposed to be religious, I don’t know about this ‘take your shirt off’, definitely not taking it off mindset”.

To start off the day, Cardinal Bloom, a local band consisting of Josh Thomas (guitar), Nathan Adair (drums), Joey St. John (lead singer), and Jacob Silvester (piano and keys) played one of the two bigger stages at the venue.

I can honestly say that something that sets this band apart is that each of them have majestic hair that captivates anyone in their audience bringing about the rock within their indie-rock genre.
