Review: Jack’s Mannequin & Guster
4.5 stars.
A fantastic showcase of independent rock in ideal weather conditions concluded the end of the summer concert series on the White River State Park lawn Aug. 29. The performances by Lady Danville, Jack’s Mannequin and Guster each showcased the unique talents of the ensembles in a spectacular fashion. Lady Danville, an up-and-coming trio, had a short set list of originals and a unique cover of MGMT’s hit “Kids.” Jack’s Mannequin front man Andrew McMahon brought his expected high-energy performance, moving quickly and smoothly between either end of the stage and his ever-present Baldwin piano. The lengthy set showcased fan favorites such as “What Gets You Off” and “I’m Ready,” as well as a uniquely reflective rendition of breakout hit “Dark Blue” at twilight. Guster delivered their familiar, psychedelic jam style and supreme musical talent to the stage — each member played at least two instruments. McMahon returned, joining Guster for a short encore to conclude the fantastic show.
