It was a whirlwind—in and out, two nights—there for one event: the Gram Parsons Foundation Launch. My friend Polly, along with others, started the GP Foundation to spread awareness about addiction, and scholarships for those who need help.

Henry Wagons, Shurman, Jenny O, The Great Lakes, Poor Moon, Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, Brendan Benson, and Alberta Cross all put on a great show, and it was quite the love fest all around.

I loved this girl’s face. She wasn’t hard to spot in the audience, wearing a clown suit, carrying a guitar case and a parasol.

Henry Wagons warmed up the gathering crowd in an authentic Manuel jacket.
