Sound of Music 2011: Lineup

Onstage between Faber Drive and Marianas Trench, photo by me.

The annual Burlington waterfront festival is pretty packed with talent this year. There's everything from light-hearted indie (Bedouin Soundclash, Tokyo Police Club, Hollerado), to disBAND punk pop (Stereos, These Kids Wear Crowns), to rootsy-rock (Emerson Drive, The Reason, Luke Doucet). If you're in the area, it's worth checking out.

Last year, we broke records on the opening night with adolescent crowds as far as the eye can see.
