This past weekend was the first ever Grand Point North music festival. Every year Grace Potter & the Nocturnals play a show during the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival. This year she put together a music festival within that, which had many new and local acts. I chose to go on Saturday since Chamberlin, a Vermont act that I've recently become obsessed with (check out this post for more), was playing. I was also excited to see that Fitz & the Tantrums would be playing that day as I recently fell in love with their song "Moneygrabber."
Long story short: it was an incredible day. We got there a little late after having an early dinner on Church St. and got there in time to see Rubblebucket and then walk around for a bit before Fitz & the Tantrums started. FATT were incredible. I would pay to see them as a headliner any day.
Immediately after FATT Chamberlin was playing on the side stage. We ran over in time to hear most of their set. After being obsessed with their album for a few months it was great to see them again and know all of their songs. They also played one or two new ones, which was awesome.
As soon as Chamberlin ended we ran over to the main stage and waited a few minutes for Grace to start. As usual she was absolutely amazing. My feet and back were killing me from standing all day, but it was totally worth it in the end. I'll definitely be hitting up Grand Point North again next summer.
