Opened by Pepper Fog and Bluebird

Scott Bartell described Mason Proffit as a country-rock band, very much appreciated by the crowd.

They have a way to working with an audience getting them on their feet, clapping and yelling, that brings a whole crowd together. And they are funny, too; commenting on the quiet house, Terry Talbot admonished them not to “try to partake us – we just ain’t that good!”

Bartell did not have a chance to hear Pepper Fog, but he did hear “surprise group” Bluebird, which used to be called Noys. He called them “definitely together,” and said, “They do some very competent though fairly commercial stuff. ‘Keep on Keepin’ On,’ a gentle little song they wrote, is very pleasant and I hope they do just that.
