The Great South Bay Music Festival
In my last post I briefly mentioned Memphis Crawls performance at The Great South Bay Music Festival, and since words can't really express how amazing the experience truly was, I decided to upload some videos from the festival.
Memphis Crawl
About a month and a half ago I attended The Great South Bay Music Festival, and besides hearing "Freebird" live with Artimus Pyle, discovering Memphis Crawl was the highlight of the weekend.
Memphis Crawl is a gritty hard rock and roll band led by front man Matty O'Brien, who has the greatest onstage presence since Jim Morrison. O'Brien is to the local underground scene as Tarantino is to film.
With the bands performing at the festival having a 4 song set, by the end of the first song I was craving an eternity. Memphis Crawl kept surprising the audience with musical epicness and blowing our minds. "Ok we got one more for you guys!" was repeated over and over, and 8 songs later they left the stage.
Here's a video clip of them performing their most popular song to date "Wildflower Annie":
Shortly after their set ended I was introduced to Matty O'Brien and was given an autographed copy of there newly released EP "Falling Down Against The Sun". Needless to say, it's a prized possession that I will cherish forever.
Since the festival, I've kept in contact with Matty "Soulman" O'Brien, talking about my love of Memphis Crawls music, and my experience watching them perform live at The Great South Bay Music Festival. Never have I met someone more in touch with their fans then Memphis Crawl. Memphis Crawls Facebook Page, which I implore you to join, is closely monitored by the band, and you will be sure to get a friendly response rather quickly.
Hopefully this short insight to the awesomeness that is Memphis Crawl has sunk into your skulls. The only way to capture the true essence of Memphis Crawl, is to see them live. They are by far the greatest live performance I've ever seen, and trust me when I say you need to see it to believe it. So be sure to come on down to their next live show, which is this Friday at The Velvet Lounge in Setauket.
