“when the group invited RatDog guitarist and San Francisco native Mark Karan on stage during the second set, the decision was met with genuine, heartfelt applause. Along with RatDog, Karan has dabbled with a significant amount of groups in the jam scene, evidenced by how well he complimented Lebo’s electro-acoustic guitar licks and ALO as a whole during the stand in that included takes on Plastic Bubble and Lady Loop.”
