The Craponne Festival, today named The Green Escape, offered Sunday, July 29, 2018, a final series of concerts with Loolie and the surfing rogers, Blue Water Highway, Status Quo and Gaëlle Buswel .
At 2 pm, the cowboy hats were outing sheltering those who had already taken their place in front of the Green Escape Festival. Regulars who had planned their booster chair. Still others to wait, improvised a dance on a small stage. The time of a weekend Craponne-sur-Arzon has vibrated to the traditional and contemporary rhythms of country, folk and rock. A will of the organization as explained by Delphine Magaud, president of the festival: " We have chosen to open this festival to other musical styles that are similar to the country to reach a public more large. Originally this festival has always been eclectic, so we continue in this logic. "
A paying strategy, because without being overloaded the municipal land put at the disposal of the festival for a weekend, was well filled. We follow the footsteps of country, boots and rock, there simply enough sneakers.
What is planned for 2019?
Before the beginning of the concerts of this last day of festival, the time was at balance sheet and the head of the president was maybe even already next year. " We will continue in this logic of openness, we can consider the Celtic music that is at the origin of American music. The Green Escape Festival is distinguished by its eclecticism but Delphine Magaud warns: " There will never be rap or variety for example.
Status Quo headlined
This day, the last, was the highlight of the Green Escape Festival with a concert by the legendary British band Status Quo. But before the arrival of rock singers, 40 years of career, 120 million albums sold, 15 gold albums and 5,500 concerts, please; the party started in a sweet mix of soul, 60s rock folk, sounds from Texas and Louisiana with Loolie and the surfing rogers and the Americans, Blue water highway. The two groups did not deserve under a blazing sun that could have knocked out more than one.
Status Quo arrived on stage. It was enough to give some energy to the crowd. The guitars sounded, the audience ignited. A nice shot of the organization after the coming in 2017 of Emmylou Harris. It must be said that seven people, specialists in the country and other musical styles work (volunteer) year-round to build the perfect plateau.
The public once warmed up, Gaëlle Buswel was able to take the torch of this evening . The artist, a beast of stage, is a regular at concerts, she has already given more than 500. She has notably provided the first parts of ZZ Top and James Hunter among others.
