Great Lakes
Summary by Gordon Lamb
Elephant 6 stalwarts Great Lakes are a very special band for the Athens PopFest. It's been forever since they played in town (understandable since they've been based in Brooklyn, NY for a while now) and it's a safe bet they're not to be missed. Originally formed as a partnership between lyricist/visual artist Dan Donahue and composer Ben Crum, Great Lakes has expanded and contracted since forming in 1996 and the bands lineup has included Jamey Huggins, Dottie Alexander, Kevin Barnes, Bryan Poole (all from Of Montreal), Heather McIntosh (Olivia Tremor Control, The Circulatory System, Japancakes, Gnarls Barkley), Derek Almstead (Elf Power), Jeff Baron (The Essex Green), and Scott Spillane (Neutral Milk Hotel). The current line-up includes Kyle Forester (The Ladybug Transistor), Kevin Shea (Storm & Stress) and Jay Israelson (Mice Parade).
Great Lakes is a songwriters band. Anyone who loves thoughtful composition and deliberately arranged musical accompaniment should find something here.
