We cannot make this one in person BUT WE ARE working in partnership with our friends over at Country Music Armadillo and I’ll be posting ALL of their coverage, as I go up to Wisconsin to tend of some family business. I myself am taking some time off to help my daughter out, and I’ll back on the road in July for Master Musician’s Festival.
We build Spotify playlists for any festivals that do not have one, and I built one for them on accident. I am only going to embed the OFFICIAL playlist on here for you. To be honest I have one giant mission on this website, and THAT IS to intertwined EVERY MUSIC COMMUNITY into one another, so these bands and artists have a plethora of festivals to play and stop at. AND FANS can find NEW bands they may not even have known about!
So why don’t I tell you a little bit about this one in Madison Indiana called Roostertail Music Festival. This one looks VERY FUN folks,with some serious Red Dirt and Americana acts in the first week of July ( July 4rth- 6th). Here is the website description:
It may look like a sleepy river-town but rest assured we are cranking up the heat this July! In addition to the fastest boats in the world, the Roostertail Music Festival will feature REAL COUNTRY and the best Alt Rock around! From Grammy nominees to Billboard chart toppers, we promise to have something for everyone who loves great music.
Within driving distance of three major cities, make this the family or friend reunion of the summer. Celebrate America’s birthday in America’s hometown with the hottest musical acts touring.
A truly one-of-a-kind experience enjoy local shops and vendors, camping, food, brews, activities, artists, fireworks, festival merchandise and MORE…
