The night's first act Langhorne Slim began his set with overcast skies, leading to a slight drizzle, and eventually succumbing to heavy rains with Slim delivering a range of favorites from his latest album, "Strawberry Mansion". The album was written during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. At the time, he had recently walked away from alcohol, and the songs came to him with ease. Slim felt the presence of his grandfather and his uncle with him during the time of the album's creation. Both men grew up in Strawberry Mansion, PA.
