Mihali & Twiddle Pack the Levitt Pavilion Once Again On Saturday

Twiddle frontman Mihali Savoulidis dazzles with one of his many guitar shreds

The second day of the Levitt Pavilion's Two-Day Festival Event once again saw the venue filled to capacity with concert goers, many of whom were in attendance on Friday as well. A special acoustic performance by headliners Twiddle for VIP ticket holders started the day. Dwight & Nicole opened the show at the four o'clock hour followed by Eggy.

Fans who saw the amazing show on Friday by headliners Twiddle who were expecting to be wowed once more on Saturday were not disappointed. The band's frontman Mihali Savoulidis again hit it out of the park with blistering guitar work and soulful vocals as they played the many tracks their fans knew very well. The fact that they have had over 100 million streams is testament to their  power with their fans, both old and young, Early followers who saw Twiddle in 2013 at the famed Gathering Of The Vibes in Bridgeport where they played on the smaller satellite stage have grown tremendously in Connecticut and beyond over the years. Near the beginning of their first set Savoulidis played what has become known as his "Layla Tease" where he blends Eric Clapton's famous mega hit into one of his flowing jams with a level of skill Clapton himself might appreciate.

For those who were not fortunate enough to see this phenomenal band at the Levitt Pavilion, check out this Youtube video to see the kind of concert where exceptional musicianship is enhanced with a light show including LED panels and a laser display that creates an ultimate concert experience. Check out Twiddle on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGa0ln8J8to and you will no doubt look anxiously to see them on The Levitt Pavilion calendar sooner rather than later.

Good Day for a Good Humor

A vintage Good Humor ice cream truck remained along Soundview Drive as passersby young and younger stopped to peruse the classic collection of frozen treats. The Good Humor company began to deliver ice cream in converted Model T Fords in the late 1920s, according to the Company, and continued to innovate up until they began to use the Ford F-100 series trucks that we can still see today - most popular due to their being sold-off in the 1970s. The Good Humor Man, and in this case: woman - rang their bells on many of the Westport community’s hottest days along the waterfront for decades. Today was no exception. WestportLocal.com photo
