2004-2007 Kerosene Willy, Dave Campbell solo Roanoke, VA and various locations in Franklin County, VA Has seen a dozen permutations of the Kerosene Willy lineup, including with other friend Randy Simpson on guitar First shows... Since Addy was born she's seen her friend "Chopper" (Dave Campbell, father of her friend Sage and husband to Hope) perform solo or with his band on more than a few occasions. Usually it's just snippets and not full sets; lots of dancing and visiting friends.

 Realatively rare Bob Mould solo show (he's primarily a DJ now) cancelled due to broken ankle.

Rhett Miller added as a surprise fill-in for Sunday.

Addy's first music festival at age 3 and a half; taken by her Dad and close friend of the family (and Dean's longtime concert-going partner) Brian Pluta;

Concert took place at a location where, nearly 4 years to the day earlier, Addy's Dad read fatherhood books while waiting for tickets for a Pearl Jam show with Brian (who was one of the first to know Addy was on the way, told that same day).

Met Bret Dennen, most of ALO (Zach, Steve & Dan); Addy got to chat with Zach, get her first setlist (ALO) and stayed at the front row for the whole ALO set.

Had photos taken of and with Fionn Regan (female singer in Fionn Regan took to Addy's smile & dance.)
