Beerjacket songs are the ones you would put on a mixtape when you were a young teenager trying to win over a girl's heart. The set ends all too quickly but the few songs we manage to hear do not disappoint, with Please Be Kind grabbing the attention of everyone in the tent. An exhibition of true talent.
