Creamery Station\u2019s early afternoon Friday set at the River Worm Stage was definitely one to remember. With a swift breeze under a canopy of maple leaves, the River Worm Stage offered a sanctuary from the 90 degree heat felt elsewhere. Promptly at 2:20pm, the familiar sound of Don DeStefano\u2019s harmonica in the opening horns of \u201cWhammer Jammer\u201d started the tone of the show, defined by a mixture of blues, soul, and jam.<\/p>\n
Next, they slowed it down a little bit with a mellow afternoon reggae style \u201cStop That Train\u201d highlighted by Mike Ryan\u2019s expertise on percussion. After that song and to the surprise of the crowd, Creamery Station\u2019s very own drummer, Harry Cooper, led vocals on the classic \u201cOphelia\u201d by The Band. By this time, curious folk started meandering their way over from the Green River cobblestone beach area only about 150\u2019 or so feet down the trail.<\/p>\n
Just in time for what seemed to be a crowd favorite, \u201cRailroad Blues\u201d, over 90 fans were grooving to the Creamery Station set. This was followed by an intense jam session in the well known song \u201cMidnight Moonlight\u201d. Various band members, including Dan Raucci on bass, Don DeStefano on harmonica, Jim Kader on guitar, and Jon Truelson on keyboard, alternated jamming flawlessly which ended in a seamless transition into \u201cYou Did Me Wrong\u201d.<\/p>\n
Following the next song, \u201cOut of My Reach\u201d, the opening notes of The Band\u2019s famous \u201cDon\u2019t Do It\u201d got everyone hot-stepping again. By this time 120+ fans were crowding the area around the stage, such that people had to resort watching from the sides of the stage for a glimpse of the excitement.<\/p>\n
Creamery Station\u2019s focus turned to the talented Jim Kader in the soulful Allman Brother\u2019s tune \u201cAin\u2019t Wasting Time No More\u201d, which ended in a cheering ovation of gratitude by the crowd. At this point, with time winding down, the band started what they thought would be the last song of the set, the famous Jerry Garcia tune \u201cSisters and Brothers\u201d. With Dylan Kader on vocals, it was evident that this deep jam really tugged at the heartstrings of the fans.<\/p>\n
After this tune, the crowd was heard chanting, \u201cOne more song, one more song\u2026\u201d To the delight of the fans, the sound crew signaled the band they had time for one more! In Dylan Kader\u2019s pre-song banter, he indicated to the crowd that he was going to change it up a little bit by saying, \u201cYou know, our hometown is a small farm town in Bethany, Connecticut. So here is a little farm music to get your feet-a-moving.\u201d Creamery ended the set with a wild bluegrass rendition of Woody Guthrie\u2019s \u201cCrawdad song\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
