Bonnaroo 2006 was the first moment I fell in love with Matisyahu's music. It was a cloudy Sunday afternoon in Manchester, Tennessee with a good chance of rain.

We were particularly thankful for the appearance of guitar virtuoso Yosi Piamenta, who completely shredded in his two extended performances. The set featured [...]
