Candace Griffin was the Friday Local Feature at Voigt Music on August 10. She performed with a full band, including Kat Farnsworth on bass, Ben Coakley on keyboard, Robert Allen on lead guitar, and Ryan Thomas on drums (Kat and Ben make up the band Kat and the Hurricane). Vicky Kolego and Mackenzie Benish (who make up the band Prone to Sorrow) lent their “angelic” voices to a few songs as well. The show was well attended.
