I went on Sunday, and it was amazing. Definitely coming back next year and the years to come. Such a worthy cause, the atmosphere is laid back, and the artists sound fantastic. Wilco, Death Cab and Norah Jones were really good. As was Neil Young...

Good event, but I was very disappointed. I went on Saturday specifically to see Josh Groban. I checked a few web sites including ticketmaster and livenation, and there was nothing to suggest that the play bills would be different on Saturday and Sunday. On livenation, it said specifically that all artists would perform on all concert dates. Unfortunately, I did not check the bridgeschool.org site. It wasn't until I'd sat through four hours listening to bands that I'd never heard of that I found out that Josh Groban would not perform on Saturday. The program had the artists listed in reverse order, so after Sarah McLachlan had just finished her set and I was expecting to see on the video screen "Next Josh Groban", but instead it said "Next Norah Jones". After I got home, I checked the bridgeschool site and it had Josh Groban listed as "Sunday only". The cause is a very worthy one; Sarah and Norah were great; but still I'm very disappointed that I didn't get to see Josh Groban.
