The third and final day set off with big promise at the Marina Stage with Philadelphia’s own The Great Unknown. Consisting of two guitars, lap steel guitar, bass, and drums, The Great Unknown offered an energetic set of alternative country. With very strong vocal harmonies, bouncing bass lines, and crunching guitars, The Great Unknown displayed a clear rock and roll influence as well. These vocal harmonies really helped The Great Unknown stand out, as they made the group’s music especially lively, even somewhat breezy.

A band of very talented musicians, The Great Unknown certainly impressed technically, especially with the eccentric, spiraling steel guitar solos. Playing some songs off their new release, The New Skin EP, the band had a great connection with the audience and frequently joked and talked in between songs. Despite a hot sun, the crowd was still out in full force and fully packed the Marina Lawn. With willing listeners, The Great Unknown got the chance to broadcast their impressive sound, one of classic country undertones and rock and roll energy.
