Family Funtime reunion @ 2023 JP Music Festival

It is an honor to be selected to play this festival in Boston and while the whole band was excited it was EXTRA special too as Lisa Mari joined us for her 1st show since 2017. A very emotional weekend for these 2.

Jesse, CJ5 and Hester drove in from Louisville, Kenny came in from TX we joined Kash Hogg and Hansen Hogg up at JamSpot in Wakefield to run through our set for the festival. Lisa Mari got her flight delayed due to hurricane Lee. Jamspot is a great place with a great crew we left there confident for our performance. Jesse & Kenny then picked up the travel exhausted Lisa Mari and headed to our hotel. The 3 of them all insist they saw a green faced witch in robe and hat pushing a baby carriage in the dark on road nearby the hotel but none of them have a picture so……..

The next morning we treked into JP and got ourselves backstage. (lots more great festival photos are on Festival Facebook page along with performance videos) The festival had a great spread for performers, coffee, water, juice, soda, Sports drinks and food. It was super nice to catch up with all our friends

 including photographer Tony Sahaedo who has some new Jesse & The Hogg Brothers music videos to be announced in the near future. 

 Below and above  is a picture of us being introduced by somebody from the mayor's office and our opening song WTML.  Officer Hansen Hogg on duty!

 

The phone camera video of Biker Ann on JP Festival Facebook already has over 1100 views Thank You.   We will be releasing our performance filmed by Chelsea Purington (pictured below) on youtube shortly after this blog posts. The plan is to archive it once we do some editing of the footage and release each song as individual videos soooooo if you want raw unedited show..  catch it before it gets cut!

Below are some more pictures of our performance , We Return to Boston October 21st @ The Midway Cafe in JP of course!!
