Beirut bangs out the hits

With such an eclectic sound that includes accordions, trumpets and the ukulele, Zach Condon and his band Beirut did not miss a beat.

Condon, opened up his set with "Nantes," which drew an applause from the audience.

For the third song he got out the ukulele to a cheer from the crowd as he sang, "Elephant Gun," At the start of the song, Condon fumbled over the lyrics a little but the crowd who was singing along were there to help him out.

During his set, Condon mentioned to the crowd that he thought the ukulele would "be loud to cover that noise around us." He was referring to the music coming from neighboring tent where I believe Peanut Butter Wolf was performing.

As he went into "Postcards from Italy," the crowd did their best to muffle the noise by clapping along.

After finishing up "Scenic World," Condo picked up the ukulele and told the hundreds that had gathered to watch him "I'm very proud to play for you guys."

As Condon got ready to sing "Sunday Smile," he told the crowd "I don't care if you know the lyrics or not you can kind of sing along."

And sing they did.
