We're still on for Saturday, September 9 and are very much looking forward to rockin' out with you at Ross Farm, come rain or shine! 🌦️

We have been closely monitoring the weather forecast for Saturday, which currently suggests some scattered showers. Rest assured that we won't let a little rain get in the way of a good time: If Taylor Swift & her Swifties can make it through THIS and still have a blast, then our situation should be a piece of cake by comparison!

We are doing everything we can to assure that our musicians stay dry throughout the day, whatever the weather might bring, and we will have wristbands available to allow patrons to come and go and come back throughout the day as they please!

We hope you will join us for this wonderful, weird, and possibly somewhat wet festival! Don't worry - it won't be anything like the recent debacle at Burning Man. Bring a friend, or two, or three and prepare to have your collective minds blown by the outrageous lineup of musical talent we have planned for you!

Featuring:

Fire & Grace

Fire & Grace - an eclectic collaboration between guitarist William Coulter and violinist Edwin Huizinga. This unique duo explores the connective musical elements of classical, folk, and contemporary traditions from around the world.

Billy Webster

Billy Webster - In the past 18 years Billy and his musical partner, Carl Basler, have released eleven albums of original music, including the rock opera, "Bold Enough To Say" (based on the Lord's Prayer) and "Marching Through Georgia" - an album of Civil War ballads reimagined as rock-n-roll songs.

Stacia Thiel

Stacia Thiel - Americana, alt. country, singer-songwriter Stacia Thiel is a classically trained opera singer, born and raised in rural Wisconsin on an eclectic mix of Dixieland Jazz, 70's rock, and Barbershop harmonies. An insatiable analyzer of human quirks, twists of fate, and idiosyncrasies, Stacia explores through captivating lyrics and searing vocal lines, the raw emotions that connect us all.

The Joe Cirotti Quartett
