Stella Ruze opened the day at XPN Fest on Saturday, September 18. As The Key’s John Vettese put it, the band “took full advantage” of the opening slot and “got the audience’s attention in a big way.” Check out the full coverage (and listen to the set) here!
The Philadelphia regional seven-piece mixes up folky modern rock with reverent takes on New Orleans sounds and jam scene energy; the back-to-back punch of the opening “Open” followed by the Bourbon Street style fanfare of “The Trollop and the Tippler” got the audience’s attention in a big way.
