THAT TIME TED OPENED FOR DR. JOHN... 🎹😂

Rockstalgia board member Ted Peters has seen it all—from the boardroom to the main stage. In this clip, he takes us back to the Mystic Blues Festival when he opened for the legendary Dr. John.

Let’s just say, meeting the "Night Tripper" himself led to an interaction Ted will never forget. It’s these kinds of raw, real moments that define the festival experience, and it's exactly the kind of energy we’re bringing to the Orono Fairgrounds this July.
