LIVE: 518 SongFest @ The Egg, 4/1/17

If anyone had any doubts about the wealth of musical talent in Greater Nippertown, they only needed to stop by The Egg’s Swyer Theatre last month for the annual 518 SongFest.
The five-act spanned the generations from Sawyer Fredericks (who had celebrated his 18th birthday just the day before) to 75-year-old John Davidson, two artists who have spent a considerable time on national television.
Rounding out the line-up were Girl Blue, The Sea The Sea and Sandy McKnight, unquestionably making for the strongest 518 SongFest since the showcase began.
Kudos also go out to co-hosts and WEXT-FM DJs Dave Michaels and Andy Gregory, who adeptly handled Q&A sessions with the performers throughout the evening.

Kirsten Ferguson’s review at The Daily Gazette
Dave and I had great fun that night. The plan is to continue with the series as a fund raising event for WEXT next year too.
