Long before the Saturday at Bonnaroo even happened, I knew that this would be one of the day’s I was looking forward to the most simply based on the bands that were playing on this day. I’m not quite sure that the term “thrilled” does any justice to how I felt about the music I would be seeing this day. From the get-go for me which was around 12:30 pm and lasting for the next sixteen hours, I was about to be over-indulged in a plethora of incredible bands, nearly all of them whom I’d never seen perform live.
First up on the schedule was Elvis Perkins in Dearland.

I had some down time, so I thought why waste it not listening to music when I could be listening to music? After all, Fiction Family was playing and I wasn’t about to miss a chance to see Sara and Sean Watkins.
