The show at Mexicali featured local artist Darrin Bradbury along with the band Common Rotation and 90's folk singer/ songwriter Dan Bern. This concert was a reunion show for Darrin Bradbury and April Acerno, who are the founders of a  band called Big Wilson River. Their act set the warm hearted folky scene and was enjoyed by various age groups in the crowd. Common Rotation spiced up the show with their variety of instruments used in their act such as xylophones and trumpets. The main act, Dan Bern, snuck onto the stage with a welcoming applause from the audience. Overall, the show was a great time to sit around at Mexicali's dinner tables and enjoy the good folky tunes from these exciting artists.

Thanks for covering this show. I enjoyed viewing the photos in the gallery.

That's not a photo of Dan Bern at the top of your article. That's Eric Kufs of Common Rotation. Dan Bern is the musician wearing the baseball cap in the last 2 pictures in your photo gallery. The other members of Common Rotation are Adam Busch (b/w photo, 4th from the end of the gallery, dsc_1040.jpg) and Jordan Katz (trumpet/banjo, 3rd photo from the end of the gallery, dsc_1059.jpg).

I was at this Dan Bern show.
which will be the last Bern show I'll ever attend.

Dan Bern is totally blah.
His new songs are boring.
And I think he comes off like a real jerk.

I've wasted enough of my cash
on this lame-ass wannabee chump.
