Much of Iris Dement's set featured the lovely artist bending her haunting vocals around her original gospel tunes. Seated solo at a piano, Dement drew a crowd that was far larger than the space alotted for the stage on which she played. Despite that and the mud on the ground, Dement's audience was stunned by a truly fantastic performance from this great contemporary singer/songwriter.
