The 15th annual Gram Parsons guitar pull and festival happens in Waycross, Georgia at the Okeefenokee Fairgrounds this weekend. Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys headline.
This country-roots camping and music festival honors the late Parsons, who died in 1973. Parsons is a legendary musician who was a pioneer of the alt-country genre, singing partner to Emmylou Harris, brief member of The Byrds, co-founder of The Flying Burrito Brothers, and a pal of Rolling Stones wild man Keith Richards. He came from Waycross, and they've been honoring this hometown hero for several years now.
Tickets are $25 a day and include tent camping. If you bring an RV, it's an extra $30 for the weekend. Kids 12 and under are free.
