Second in radio station Kool 105’s summer concert series, Tuesday night’s HippieFest at Fiddler’s Green drew less of a crowd than the preceding Chicago/The Doobie Brothers show, but boasted a more lively audience with a far greater mix among age groups. Though older adults and some true old hippies made up the majority of the… Continue reading Colorado HippieFest Leaves Audience Dazed and Confused
It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for a body! Today’s report about Friday at the fantastic 10KLF will be devoid of whinning! Though music started yesterday at noon with Blue Martian Tribe and Bill Smith at the Saloon stage, I was writing my report and wasn’t able to start my music listening… Continue reading Day Three at 10KLF – 2008 Live!

One is Dub Trio out of Brooklyn, bringing hip-hop and hard core with a peaceful message, and the other is The Hue, out of Chicago. The Hue has been together about a… Continue reading The Hue Bringing New Color to 10KLF
Musical siblings, the Wood Brothers, will be returning to the 10,000 Lakes Festival this year, touting their latest CD, Loaded. Two years ago, in 90+ heat, festival fans packed the Barn Stage to see this mix of southern backroads and big city boulevards. In their own version of country mouse and city mouse, Oliver Wood,… Continue reading Wood Brothers Creating Quite a Fire
