Twiddle and Frends returned to the Charles R. Woods Park in Lake George for the 2023 edition of Memorial Meltdown for the unofficial start to summer and kickoff of a huge music festival and summer concert series season across New York State.

Also on this year’s lineup were Twiddle, Dogs in a Pile, TAUK, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Mihali and Frends, One Time Weekend, and Annie in The Water. The two-day event as always included a wide variety of craft and food vendors, a short walk from the shores of Lake George.

Memorial Meltdown bookends the summer at Charles R. Wood festival commons, with the Labor Day weekend Adirondack Independence Music Festival. The two fests have grown to nearly the same size, following Meltdown, meaning this September’s ADK Fest will have even more in store that is not to be missed!

Conor McMahon is based in Albany, NY. Although he works in sales, Photography is his true passion. His love for photography began at young age when he made a “pinhole” camera for a school project. Until recently, he primarily shot nature and Landscapes. Concert photography has re-sparked his love for the lens. He likes how challenging it is to get "the shot”, with drastic lighting changes, and fast moving subjects.You can find him at any phish show on the east coast, or at jam festivals throughout the Northeast.
