Where, much like the farmers of the region at harvest time, artists bring their skillfully crafted and time-tested songs to stage for consumption. A festival that is more about the stories and the people behind the sounds than it is about bright lights and large crowds. A place where the walk from your campsite to the main stage can, in more ways than one, take you from where you have been to where you've needed to be. There are no paved parking lots, no late night disco tents or $8 beers. We will have guitars, harmonicas, guys with beards.... and there will be banjos. Start the 2014 Festival Season off right with this genuine, home grown, off-the-beaten-path music festival set in Ohio's most scenic region. $90 pre-sale / $100 at the gate; Duck Creek Outdoors, LLC, 28508 Murphy Rd, Logan; email duckcreekoutdoors@gmail.com or visit http://www.duckcreeklogjam.com/home.html for info and tickets.
