Festivals
One of the most unapologetically original bands to come out of Cleveland in years has announced its first festival, The Freakstomp Music Festival. Taking place Aug 11 - 13 in Medina, OH (50 miles from Cleveland) Tropidelic will treat fans to two nights of music, with the support of many other notable bands and performers. Tickets for the entire weekend are available for just $60, which includes both camping and parking.
Deep Roots Mountain Revival is proud to announce a full schedule of community-building and family-friendly activities for its second annual music and camping festival. Adults are encouraged to participate in relaxing and healing activities such as meditation, reiki, yoga, and hula hooping, or attend a fiddle, clawhammer, or flat-picking workshop for an educational experience.
The year will soon come when press releases for the Grey Fox Music Festival, held annually at the tranquil Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, NY, will no longer be necessary.
On June 3, 2017, I was privileged to be among the limited number of people present for the fourth day of the John Hartford Memorial Festival in quiet Bean Blossom, Indiana, at the Bill Monroe Music Park. A pedigree this strong promise high quality, enjoyable music, and I’m pleased to say the festival lived up to its name.
It is my honor to be writing to you all again about the wonder and beautiful sight that is Dark Star Jubilee. However, this year I write to you with feelings of pure joy and love that come from this festival but also a heavy heart. Dark Star Orchestra has had a tough week, as they face a possibly career-changing event. But more about that later, let’s talk about the joyful, blissful, wonderful, paradise event for friends and family that was Dark Star Jubilee.
Another Summer Camp Music Festival has come and gone, and while every weekend spent at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL beholds something different, this weekend had an extra-special feeling to it that was hard to put your finger on. Maybe it was the seemingly yearly re-occurring thunder storm that rolled through the festival grounds mid-afternoon Friday, soaking the grounds and bringing out the inner-child in the crowd as fans stomped through the puddles with their rain boots.

On May 25, 2017, I packed up my car, picked up my brother-in-law, and headed to Chillicothe, IL for the annual Summer Camp Music Festival. However, I was not going there primarily to see Moe. and Umphrey’s McGee, along with a host of others, but to work a booth as a nonprofit. It provided a very interesting and honestly, one heck of an different experience.
