MULBERRY MOUNTAIN HARVEST FESTIVAL
Another festival on the horizon takes place August 12-15 in Ozark, Arakansas. The Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival is a four day music and camping event featuring exciting entertainment, arts and crafts, workshops, delicious food, mountain trails, waterfalls, and so much more. The festival is held at Mulberry Mountain, a 650 acre lodging and event resort located in the heart of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. Over 65 live performances on 3 stages will take place throughout the weekend. Its our first trip to the Ozarks and we'll be making sure you all stay awake with a Thursday night late night set going from 1am-3am on the Harvest Tent Stage.

This laid back lineup includes other artists such as Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Umphrey's McGee, The Avett Brothers, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Railroad Earth, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Tea Leaf Green, Corey Smith, Peter Rowan, Split Lip Rayfield, Hot Buttered Rum, Travelin' McCourys, The Duhks, William Elliott Whitmore, Cornmeal, The Lee Boys, Big Smith, Steep Canyon Rangers, Papa Mali, Cadillac Sky, Hackensaw Boys, Asylum Street Spankers, Infamous Stringdusters, Blue Turtle Seduction, Greensky Bluegrass, Family Groove Company, and many more.

Camp Barefoot 3
After the above festival we head immediately across the country to Gore, VA, where we are very humbled and pleased to be headlining Camp Barefoot 3. We'll be giving ya three sets at this one - a late night party on Friday, August 14th, and a two set headline performance on Saturday, August 15th.

The event is all weekend long and features some of the top rated acts in independent music including Lotus, Perpetual Groove, Toubab Krewe, Hackensaw Boys, The Bridge, Umelt, The Breakfast and more. The event is family oriented, affordable and a portion of the proceeds go directly to Soles4Souls. Together we can work to collect gently worn shoes to donate them to those in need - it is a great way to recycle footwear. The Event will Feature: A Main Stage and 2 side stages, featuring a rotating cast of top, independent music acts from across the country and the state of Virginia; Arts, Crafts and Food Vendors, bringing the finest local handcrafted items and art as well as a variety of delicious food all available to the public; The Kids Zone, featuring a safe, structured and most of all fun area for kids of all ages to play and enjoy activities and the featured entertainment for attending families.
