If you can believe it, itty bitty Cabot Cove is putting on some sort of musical festival aimed at saving Cabot Woods. Oddly, Seth has mortgaged his house in order to fund this (though mega-rich Jessica apparently passed on this). But there are two problems...the featured band sucks and is really boring (that's my feeling...everyone in the show thought they were great) and someone is trying to kill the lead singer (which, for me, was great...as I hated the singing). In the meantime, some folks are hoping the festival will bomb so they can buy up the woods and develop it. So, when someone dies...guess who's going to solve the crime (hint: It won't be Mort).
I know I'm a grouch here, but I really hated the music. It was LESS edgy than the Carpenters! This and that the lead singer was a terrible person made this one less enjoyable than usual...though it's not bad.
