The unabashed Keller Williams stand-in was the perfect warm-up artist, as well as an ideal backdrop for the vital hula hoop scene, which included at least one real artist this year; she briefly took over the main floor in front of the bikes and got the kind of attention you're just not going to achieve at a big-name fest. Sheil himself is a crowd-pleaser, wowing us with Phish's "The Inlaw Josie Wales," and refreshingly acknowledging the sincerest form of flattery with Williams' "Freeker By The Speaker."
