The third evening of the First Annual JuneBug Festival of Music was as picture-perfect as the first two. The cold front spun around Northfield, leaving us cool but dry. Performances in order of appearance: Fish Frye, Loafers, Matthew Bunch, Gospel Gossip, Jon Manners, The Zillionaires.

Tonight’s lineup:
The mobile stage for this week’s JuneBug is almost ready. The boys from Built by Johnson (Leigh Johnson and Charles Johnson) have constructed it over the past few days… and it was band-tested on Saturday night by Draper Daniels.
The Contented Cow is pleased to host the First Annual JuneBug Festival of Music, June 26-28, 2008. We’re constructing a special stage for the event, adjacent to our riverfront back patio.
