On Sunday at noon people could enjoy with the psycho-rockabilly of the Atomic Leopards and, in the afternoon, two deluxe sets with the incendiary and wild soul of Shake! and the masterful Texas blues coming from one of the great Texan masters, Shawn Pittman, backed by The Ozdemirs magnificent and greasy rhythm section, which caught the audience from the beginning to the end, in an impressive blues party, that became short.
