Make sure to get your ticket for FestDrive\u2019s Shuttle to & from Old Settler\u2019s!<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>In an effort to reduce traffic and our carbon footprint, we are partnering with FestDrive to bring you bus service to and from the festival from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. We know that driving can be stressful and troublesome so leave that up to us. Buses will run all four days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been covering this festival as a part of the other 174 yearly festival events that I cover. Festivals are a huge part of my music itinerary every year and my crew and I physically cover as many festivals we can with articles describing our experience there.<\/p>\n

So this event transpires on April 19-22nd 2018, has a brand new location in Texas and is in it’s 30th year having began in 1988. This event is truly one of Central Texas’ most prestigious festivals, and is mentioned at many other festivals I equally cover.  And you can purchase your tickets for this event HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is the lineup for this year’s event, now as usual I AM in constant contact with Miss Jean’s crew and will OFTEN ADD all the updates they send me. They have reached an agreement with another festival called Driftwood Music Festival (Whom we also cover) and their brand will be launching their event at a different month, because patrons of both events are involved in that scene.<\/p>\n

There is a late night stage for campers that will contain people like my friend Mr. Konrad Wert AKA Possessed By Paul James and others. Like all my other festival articles, I have included all the nearby hotels and this festival like others has a shuttle service that will take you to many of them. The late night stage will be for unplugged performers and let me tell you Possessed By Paul James will BLOW YOU AWAY, and the audience will maintain complete silence during the late night events. MORE festivals should follow that special offering.<\/p>\n

Spring has sprung and we’re just weeks away from our 31st Old Settler’s. The following are some important announcements and information.<\/p>\n

This Sunday is our final volunteer meeting<\/strong>. We will meet from 2 – 5 pm at our new home in Tilmon. Come on out if you wish to volunteer. Thanks in advance for your support.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t picked up your tickets yet, what’s stopping you? Advance ticket prices remain until April 4th<\/strong>. You can learn more and grab yours here.<\/a><\/p>\n

If our new home is a bit of a longer commute for you, fear not! FestDrive<\/a> is offering a shuttle service<\/strong> to help get you here and back home.<\/p>\n

We also wanted to let you know that the Caldwell County Commissioners unanimously approved our festival permit application, which was a historic vote. Martin Ritchey, the chief of the county\u2019s office of emergency management said, \u201cThey\u2019ve made a substantial investment in property in Caldwell County.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge Pro Tem Joe Roland said he was glad to have us in the county. He credited us with planning and doing things the right way, \u201cThey are truly a stand-up group, we welcome them to Caldwell County.\u201d Feels good to get some more local love! <\/strong>Thanks to everyone in the county for their support. Thanks also to the Lockhart Post-Register who published this article.<\/p>\n

And THANK YOU<\/strong> for your support. Come join us for our best year yet on April 19 – 22. You can see the full lineup schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
