Bluegrass, Country, Rock and what have you. It's a bit of a throwback,
small by design, off the beaten path type of festival which could only
be found down a winding road in Ohio's Hocking Hills. 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
