Hello, Readers! The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are falling; signs of the inevitable changing of the seasons, however, there is still plenty of time to squeeze in some more fun before Jack Frost comes knocking at our doors. Here’s what’s up
Join The JiMiller Band (performing two sets of Grateful Dead), Vibe & Direct, JP & The Chatfield Boys, Unexpected Party, and Cats on Holiday this weekend at the Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Garrettsville, OH for their annual Lazy Daisy Festival. Nelson Ledges Quarry Park is one of the premier music festival venues in the Midwest, featuring shady groves, a fresh-water filled quarry for swimming and cliff-diving, hiking and biking trails, and much more. Secure your pre-sale GA weekend pass for $45 before Wednesday, September 12th for $45, otherwise fork over $60 at the gate. Kids 4-14 are $15 per day, or $25 for the entire weekend. Infants 3 and under are welcome for free. No pets allowed, and as always, no glass bottles.
This Saturday head over Hampstead, Maryland for Jerrystock IV, hosted by the good folks at Ruhlman Brewery and Creeping Creek Farm. Music is scheduled from 2p.m. until 10p.m. and will be provided by Stewbone, On the Bus, Tomato Dodgers, Swamp Donkey, and Hydroponic Philharmonic. Feel free to bring your own food or meals, as picnic lunch and dinners are permitted at this event. Concessions will also be available on-site. Leave the bottles at home, though, outside booze and camping will not be allowed. General admission is $25, a cheap price to pay to see such a cluster of great artists. 12 and under enter for free with a paying adult. See you on the farm!
