A marathon concert in support of the L.A. Fire Department Foundation brought together fourteen local acts, with all tickets selling out in just one day. In the first half of the event, Sam Chase delivered a commanding performance, while Sean Hayes and John Elliott impressed with their evocative compositions. Megan Slankard stole the spotlight, closing her setlist with a heartfelt rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's America. Danny Click and his band amped up the energy with a dynamic electric performance, while Shana Morrison delivered soulful renditions of her father's Sometimes We Cry, Sonny Boy Williamson II's Help Me, and Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. Tribute band Petty Theft filled their set with nothing but Tom Petty's biggest hits. In an unexpected highlight, Fantastic Negrito was joined on stage by mandolinist Teo Quale of Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band. It was an absolutely spectacular concert, huge thanks to KC Turner for making it happen!

Открывает местная рок-команда Walking Mirrors, у них в составе, как сообщается, 50-й лучший барабанщик мира по версии журнала Роллинг Стоун какого-то года. Начинают парочкой собственных вещей, потом переключаются на каверы, достались песни Стоунз, Кинкс, знаменитая Mustang Sally Уилсона Пикетта и панк-роковая версия Ring of Fire Джонни Кэша. Забойно, энергично, то, что для разогрева и надо! Папаши-дефлораторы на сцене после получасового перерыва, играют бодрый свинг с элементами ритм-блюза и ска. В программе много коротких вещиц, всё довольно симпатично, особенно хороши духовые, хотя по мне такая музыка довольно однообразна и скучновата, несмотря на выраженную её танцевальность. А вот постер в этот раз сделали прямо-таки шикарный! Заключительный мой Cookout Concert года в Хопмонке, посетил четырнадцать из тридцати трёх.

Set list (Walking Mirrors, 6:00 PM — 6:45 PM): River's Road, Wave of Worry, Paint It Black, Ring of Fire, Shakin' All Over, Little Sister, I Wanna Be With You, Jumpin' Jack Flash, All Day and All of the Night, Mustang Sally

Set list (Cherry Poppin' Daddies, 7:15 PM — 8:58 PM): Kings of Swing, Lowdown Appreciator, Undecided, Dr. Bones, Thrill Thing, I Love American Music, When I Change Your Mind, Brown Flight Jacket, Royal Street Swingdown, 42nd Street, Puttin' On the Ritz, Kickin' the Gong Around, White Teeth Black Thoughts, The Fixer, Bloodshot Eyes, Master and Slave, Fly Me to the Moon, Kingsized, Bigger Life, The Babooch, Brown Derby Jump, Zoot Suit Riot, The Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line, No Mercy for Swine (encore), Cherry Poppin' Daddy Strut (encore)
