This past weekend Instagon appeared as part of the 2nd annual IN THE FLOW festival in Sacramento. The festival is focused on exposure to the local Sacramento and northern California contemporary jazz innovators who grace our fair state. It was a great 3 day event with bands and poets performing in 5 different venues with all form of jazz being represented. Not to let the GARAGE JAZZ arm of the great beast called jazz be ignored.. INSTAGON appeared on Saturday afternoon at RECORDS 
(on Broadway). This year we appeared as a trio (last year it was as quartet). The show was sorta odd and hard to get started.. the venue was not really prepared for a live show.. but soon got it all dialed in.. and we we just happy to be in the air conditioning as it was 105+ outside in the Sacramento heat. As this show approached there was an issue with Instagon needing someone to play drums... and so we set off to the land called Craigs List. and returned with our new friend HORRIBLE JOHN.. who was just fun and wonderful to play with, not very horrible at all. Dan Quillan aka Art Lessing rounded out this trio.. he came armed with his guitar and a box of pedals and effects to make the ears drool. We played for about 35 minutes... it was really great.. thanks to everyone that came out to support it.INSTAGON 507
