WILMINGTON — An indie pop band from Los Angeles made its way to Greenfield Lake Amphitheater on Saturday.

Saint Motel — consisting of A. J. Jackson, Aaron Sharp, Dak Lerdamornpong and Greg Erwin — performed for a few hours on April 26, bringing to life their progressive, dream-pop sounds. Photographer Tom Dorgan of MoonFrog Media was at the concert to catch scenes from the show.

“It was fun!” Dorgan said, noting it attracted a younger crowd with the lead singer, Jackson “younger crowd lined up on the rail early to get a spot up front. The lead singer of the band was “working the stage. He didn’t stop moving — singing and engaging with the crowd.”
