Here it all is folks my yearly ever popular list ( which is updated weekly ) of music festivals both independent and corporate ones with an independent bill. I also have included Bluegrass festivals form all over the United States, and Roots Music festivals as well.

I spend a considerable amount of time researching and finding more festivals to my yearly list each year, and I include all the links for you to get all of the info you will need to support whichever festival you choose.

One of the best ways I have found to find new bands, and new friends that eventually treat you like family is to attend outdoor festivals. Many of these festivals have not taken place in 2 years, and some of these are new, but overall I will provide links to their website as well as my articles I write on their behalf.

This year was a really hard one on my personal life, and I did not get the opportunity to attend as many festivals as I usually do. However this year I shall be attending a few in the fall, and Labor Day weekend will be my first one called the Earl Scruggs Music Festival in North Carolina. I’ll have more information on this one later.

Also coming up is the North Springs Music Festival, which is also coming up in the next few days in it’s own separate article. I heavily support this one for being a complete DIY and locally owned and run festival. I attended last year’s festival and you can read about that one HERE. Also, if you would like to read about ALL OF THE festivals that we cover you can read about them all HERE.
