HullabaLOU review: Ben Folds [Music]
After tramping through the Downs the day before, my feet were not super happy to face another day of high heat and lots of standing. My only consolation was the prospect of a nostalgia filled day of music, the first of which was Ben Folds. My best friend introduced me to his music years ago while he was still part of Ben Folds Five, so I was looking forward to his set, heat baked and swollen footed as I was.
Who came to HullabaLOU? [Music]
While a lot of people came for acts such as Ben Folds, Huey Lewis and the News, or Loretta Lynn, the headliners really dictated the atmosphere each night at HullabaLOU.
Friday was a wasteland until after work. Soccer moms started showing up around 7 pm, once the kids were safely at the sitter's for a night. People of all ages wore nostalgia band t-shirts. While there were certainly 20somethings around to see Bon Jovi, the overall crowd skewed closer to 40+.
Tales from the UPS Shuttlebus to HullabaLOU [Music]
One mom showed off a photo on her iPhone of the oversized Kenny Chesney painting she keeps in her living room so she can wake up every morning and have coffee with him.
A man traded yesterday's Al Green tickets for an electrical breaker and a celing fan.

Jukebox the Ghost keeps a sense of humor at Forecastle Festival [Music]
Washington D.C. piano rockers Jukebox the Ghost aren’t unfamiliar with the Louisville area. The piano/guitar/drums trio has played the Vernon Club twice since June of last year, and though the crowd was small at their second stage Forecastle Festival time slot (overlapping main stage sets by Minus the Bear and She & Him), those there knew all about the band – and most of their words.
