Yesterday’s lineup was the best of the festival, in my opinion. Starting with Balkan Beat Box and ending with The Infamous Stringdusters, there was an eclectic mix of amazing artists in between. The first band I checked out Saturday was Balkan Beat Box. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see their whole set, but what I… Continue reading Wakarusa: 2012 | Day 3 on Mulberry Mountain

I’m here! I’m here! I’m so excited to finally be here! The first night of the festival was incredible–cooler weather made it feel amazing outside at all the shows, and after wrapping up in blankets or whatever they could find festival-goers seemed to be out in full-force through the night shows. After taking a few… Continue reading Grateful Web's Wakarusa Preview: Day 2
