2025

What a year! We notched our fourth consecutive year of record attendance, a full 28% above 2024’s numbers, despite a challenging weather pattern — brutally hot with popup thunderstorms. And indeed, we did have two storm interruptions on Friday, but everyone sheltered patiently under the Polacek Pavilion or inside the Community Foundation Oilhouse, where performances continued as scheduled — giving Dream the Heavy (which was scheduled opposite Andy Frasco, whose performance was interrupted) an incredibly full house!

Friday’s highlights included epic collaborations between Dogs in a Pile, Andy Frasco & the U.N., and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, who paid tribute to Ozzy Osborne by covering “War Pigs” (a moment that got us national press), Jennifer Hartswick and everybody, and many more. We danced the night away with Natalie Brooke until 2:00 am because of the weather delays.

Saturday’s vibes were equally good –the maniacal energy of The Regal Sweet, foot-stomping jamgrass with Sicard Hollow, a monster set by LaMP during a popup storm — and a weather delay that only built anticipation for Gov’t Mule, before a terrific closing set by Octave Cat.
