Sights, Sounds and More from Solid Sound Fest 2011

Solid Sound Fest ended June 26th, but that shouldn't stop us from living vicariously through videos & photos. Also, look at that bird! It's playing the guitar! How 'bout that!

While you’re registering for presales and waiting for tickets to go on sale for Wilco’s fall tour (or loudly sobbing in your shower wearing nothing but a pair of cutoff jeans because the tickets you wanted sold out; I know I am),  why not take a gander at some of these photos and videos from 2011′s Solid Sound Festival, featuring performances from cream-of-the-crop artists from around the music, art and comedy worlds? Yeah, that was a long sentence. Yes, it’s right. No, don’t spell check it.

Here’s a few more videos of performances from Solid Sound Fest, for your listening (and watching) pleasure:

Jeff Tweedy – Sunken Treasure

Wilco – Can’t Stand It

Liam Finn – Better To Be

Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline - The inGLENNtions (some crazy community xylophonin’ goin’ on)
