Northern Natural Cidery in Kaleva, Michigan, welcomed an early‑season visit from Michigan’s own Dave Bruzza, best known for performing with the jam‑grass legends Greensky Bluegrass. Over the past few years, Dave has played three to five solo shows annually—mostly in the Midwest—and this spring’s run included Chicago’s new “Garcias” venue, Ann Arbor’s folkie listening room The Ark, and Holland’s Park Theatre before he pointed his wheels north to Kaleva.

Big-name headliners Lenny Kravitz (Friday), Sublime (Saturday), and Alanis Morissette (Sunday) led the way on the massive High Tide (the official main stage with its enormous viewing-area lawn of artificial but lush, cool grass) and Low Tide (in front of an expansive sandy beach) stages, with big 90-minute sets in front of up to 11,000 jolly souls. Other mighty 60 and 75-minute alternating performances on the High and Low Tide stages were delivered by such acclaimed performers as Train, The Beach Boys (with John Stamos), the Pretenders, Jackson Browne, Mt. Joy, Marcus King, Cake, Skip Marley, Susanna Hoffs, and Aloe Blacc.
