Vibes 2008 - Friday 11 p.m.
Deep Banana Blackout just left the stage and gave the crowd what it wanted: high-energy funk delivered with a high-voltage singer.
Jen Durkin has shared a stage with many legends in the funk and jam-band worlds, but it’s easy to see that she was pumped up for Bridgeport, or as she put, “back in our ’hood.” The band was tight and had the crowd moving, not an easy thing to do after a long day in the sun.
Durkin will be back at the Vibes on the Solar Stage Saturday at 5 p.m. with The Durkins, a band she started with brother Johnny and an ever-shifting cast of musicians. I think she said on stage Friday night that she’s also a part of the Organically Grown Gospel Choir, which hits the Main Stage Sunday at 11 a.m. Don’t hold me to that.
Durkin has been a part of every Gathering of the Vibes so far, so maybe we should just make it official and name her Queen of the Vibes.
The Black Crowes comes on next and I am out of here.
