Bryce Rabideau: People are extremely friendly and supportive, and considering this is entirely original music all week, as touring musicians, we rarely get that kind of response for just an hour of original music. We usually have to pepper in some covers and make sure people know, recognize some larger percentage of our set, and the fact that people are just here to listen to what we do and make is amazing.

Lucy Clabby: Everybody makes us feel like rock stars when we’re here. [all laugh]

[audience applauding and cheering]

Give it up for these boys over here.

[audience applauding and cheering]

Appleton is a very core part of my childhood and upbringing, and it’s my ancestral home. It’s just a wonderful town. I love it very much. [laughs] It’s really nice to be back.

Margot Jezerc has a new song that we’ve premiered here. We got it ready to play for this festival specifically, and it’s about her grandmother, who’s from Appleton. And it is so special and cool to be able to sing that for the people of Appleton and for her family.
