Well, that, and he was clearly wasted drunk.

I was too, what's your point? Shouldn't he be having at least as much fun as I was?

Yea, I think I sound better when I play guitar drunk too. I'm told that it's not true, though.

I'm not signing this!

Sober people told you that. Not other drunk people. Other drunk people think you sound awesome.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

It's too soon for that to count. More cancellations are eminent. I've got my money on Phil and just hope it's not an RIP cancelation.

Had never heard, or heard of, JJ Grey. Have now watched/listened to quite a bit on YouTube. Was really looking forward to this set.

I don't really like when artists just disappear from the lineup. Would rather have some context.

Kind of shady if you ask me. They should make an announcement whenever someone drops out. JJ Grey isnt a deal breaker for me but he is pretty good and could be a deal breaker for someone out there. To just secretly remove him from the lineup seems lame.

I blame Phish.

I have listened to a fair bit. I am unlikely to buy a ticket and go see a solo show, so seeing him at a festival would be a good place for me to get a real introduction.

I posted on the Lockn Festival Facebook page and the Lockn Festival Family page about whether JJ Grey is still performing and all I got was crickets..a whole bunch of crickets. I know that Lockn staff monitors the LFF page but they have not replied. I think that if it was a typo they would be quick to say so and fix it. Alas I fear the worst, was really looking forward to his set. If this is true and JJ cancelled this will be the second time that he has cancelled an appearance that I had a ticket for.

I call bullshit. They were both on the artwork before they removed JJ Grey. And this cannot be the final schedule so what's it matter that you miss your "deadline" by the 30 minutes it would take to make it right. Not like we would be shocked by their big announcement or schedule revision being on a different day than originally stated. Par for the course. That being said, the incompetence of some facets of the Lockn team no longer surprise me.

Lockn is not on JJs web page under tour dates. In fact they have nothing for August.

Listen here mister potty mouth. I will not sit idle and watch you impugn the reputation for punctuality that Locken has built. When they say "soon", not rain, sleet, snow or stoned graphic designers will stop them from a timely announcement!

Comparing number of sets each day this years vs 2016, ignoring late night BRB and church:
2016 - 2017
Thurs 3 - 4
Fri 8 - 11
Sat 9 - 9
Sun 8 - 9

And you can add at least one more act Fri-Sun for rockin to lockin (plus any additional acts people believe will happen). I dont see this working without overlapping sets between late day BRB and early main stage. Looks like choices will need to be made. And it would seem there would be overlapping sound.
