I’ll just come out and say it right now – I had my single coolest Bonnaroo moment ever last night. I think the picture says it all.
Maybe the Greatest Moment of Brad's Life
Yep, I know what you’re thinking – there are two wild and crazy guys…
Steve has a wonderful project called Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers and the band put on a wonderful performance last night. I wandered backstage about a half hour before they were supposed to go on, and there they are, just warming up. Steve Martin was an absolute gentleman. He seemed a bit shy and reserved, but again, a total gentleman to any jerk (no pun intended) who came up asking for a photo. One of those magical Bonnaroo moments that will last a lifetime.
Other musical highlights from the evening: checking out Black Keys and Tori Amos from backstage, a high-energy performance from Michael Franti & Spearhead, and seeing The National perform.
Tune in to WTTS today from 12pm-6pm for live updates from backstage at Bonnaroo – and keep checking back here at our online Blogaroo for more updates, photos, artist interviews and more.
We’ve made it and we’re still alive. And boy, is it hot… But that’s Bonnaroo for ya! Laura and I arrived late last night into Manchester, TN. WTTS is back for our 7th Bonnaroo (only missing the first two festivals). In between the huge mud puddles, we caught some great live music from Temper Trap and Joshua James on night one.

We’re expecting temperatures well into the 90s today with chances of thunderstorms through the day (otherwise, a par-for-the-course Bonnaroo forecast). Some of the live performances we’re looking forward to today: Kings Of Leon, The National, Flaming Lips, and Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) & The Steep Canyon Rangers.
Laura and I will broadcast live this afternoon from 3-7pm from the Bonnaroo backstage studios. We’ll have artist interviews, live performances and all the behind-the-scenes secrets that make Bonnaroo the festival it is. Hope you tune in. You’ll find cool Bonnaroo photos, artist interviews and more here on the Blogaroo. Keep checking back over the weekend!
