[dropcap size=small]O[/dropcap]ver the course of experiencing the three days that is Pemberton Music Festival this year (Friday-Sunday), let us start by saying that this festival was an honor for us to cover, and a real good time at that. A good number of the acts we had heard of prior to entering the festival grounds. Even though sometimes a band or DJ might not do themselves justice when listening to them live, several times we saw performances that surprised us, to the point where they might convert us into a fan.
There were a few of those that fit in the ‘shocker’ category over the course of our time in Pemberton. Most of the acts on the bill were headliners already, meaning we knew enough that we could rely on them to deliver proper sets. Even picking our top 20 acts throughout the festival is a struggle, as there were so many talented bands and comedy acts performing throughout the weekend. Here are some of our highlights throughout our stay at Pemberton Music Festival, in no particular order. Interested in more highlighted acts? We have Part 2 headed your way shortly.
