Bluesfest artist antics

My favorite back stage story comes from Marc Charron. he was guitar tech for Manu Chau on the mainstage. 2nd song in Manu's guitar strap broke, so Marc grabs a guitar and runs out to him only to be shrugged off in a "Get the fuck off my stage" kinda way. So Marc leaves dejected in front of 25,000 people. Song ends Manu's manager grabs the guitar from Marc gives it to Manu and throws him the busted one. Marc tries to fix the strap but needs someone to hold the neck. So he says to the guy standing next to him offstage " you mind holding this" The guy complies and the guitar gets fixed, turns out the guy is Michael Franti. After the show Manu wouldn't talk to marc he was still pissed at him for coming on his stage.

Great story.

Favorite personal backstage story -

Getting wicked high with my favorite percussionist from my favorite band.

Oh and Kyla and I watching security hassle everyone backstage for their passes including the band while no one bugged us at all.
