What an awesome music festival. It had something for everyone, as witnessed by the fact that both Friday and Saturday were sold out. The organizers have come a long way in their 10 year history. They did a great job in putting together their 10th anniversary celebration. Every year they keep making good additions to the venue, to the organization itself and to the diverse line-up of performers.
I love the festival’s dedication to the arts, from the vaudeville acts to the music performers to the spiritual aspect. Congrats guys.
Some stand out performances were of course some of the headliners like Donna the Buffalo, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Railroad Earth, Sam Bush, Old Crow Medicine Show and Del McCoury Band. Other standout performances were some of the “Under the Radar” bands like James Justin & Company, Kings of Belmont and the The Brand New Life. Some of my other personal favorites were Shane Pruitt ( WOW ), Thousands of Ones and Yarn.
I have produced or attended over 300 music festivals & concerts and can honestly say that overall it does not get much better. It had all the ingredients of a top notch music festival including an incredible line up of performers, a good organization plan and a really nice venue located along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great job!
Also the National Park Service Rangers did a great job handling the massive amount of traffic on the Parkway and deserve a Big Thank You.
I am already looking forward to next year’s event and encourage all that did not make this year’s event to put it on your calendar and try to attend. Next year’s dates are July 26-29. Let’s go!!!
