OK, here we go… Carbon Leaf is officially added to the SRF`11 lineup. Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. The band succeeds in doing just that — and in creating a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds — on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman. Simply put, this soundtrack is AWESOME.
We can’t wait to see Carbon Leaf crank it up at SRF `11!!!
ShamrockFest `11 set an all time record for the most tickets sold in the first 24 hours. Congratulations to everyone that purchased your tickets so far. The year is going to be magical!
Here is what some of leaders in the entertainment industry are saying:
“National ShamrockFest is Washington DC’s greatest festival, hands down!”
“ShamrockFest… America’s biggest Saint Patrick’s Day party…”
“…Shamrock Festival is one of the best live music festivals in the United States”
