While I could only stay for Jesse and the Dandelions, I was excited to see  their new line up  which featured Doug Hoyer adding  extra guitar and keyboards.


 They  nailed  the Jesse and the Dandelions’ setlist, featuring upbeat, immediately appealing, chirpy indie rock sung by frontman Jesse Northey/

As always they were reminiscent of indie band like Said the Whale. Doug Hoyer jumped on the  drum riser and  jumped back to his microphone and added keyboard, while Northey stood at his microphone singing the melodies while his band filled in the extra space.
