This Thursday, one of the most wonderful festivals in the southeast, Floydfest , happens in the Blue Ridge mountains in little picturesque town of Floyd, Va.
Floydfest has one of the greatest lineups of the summer if you like roots, funk, folk, bluegrass, and world music (and y'all readers are always telling me you do)---
Punch Brothers, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Jackson Browne, Dawes, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Leftover Salmon, Brice Hornsby, Brandi Carlisle, Steep Canyon Rangers, ALO, Galactic, Toubab Krewe, Drew Emmit Band, Orgone, Garage A Tois, March Fourth Marching Band, Anders Osboure, Gary Clark, Jr., Ozomati, Matisyahu, and more
There are still tickets available, but the "up-the-hill" car passes, which means you can camp by your car, are sold out. At this point, you have to park in a remote lot and get carried the short ride to the fest site in a school bus. The organizers will help you get your stuff and find your camp site once you get up there. Super nice people every time I've been there.
To get a handle on the day-by-day performances, check out this handy fest preview from the Roanoke Times. See you on the mountain!
