Randy Peterson/Mat Maneri New Languages Festival, June 1st

[horton]

The 3rd annual new languages festival was held at Rose Live Music, Williamsburg May 24th - June 2nd. The festival featured some great music throughout and maintained a really good vibe. But, what was outstanding about this festival was the Randy Peterson and Mat Maneri set on June 1st. These two guys tore that place apart and were by far the highlight of the festival. Having not seen these two play as a duo ever (though several times in ensembles) I was blown away by them. The energy they created between them was incredible and the sound was refreshingly different. I dont know how often them team up in this fashion, but if you ever get the chance to go see them it is well worth the trip.
