LIVE MUSIC - 2023

We are thrilled to bring back live music to the festival in 2023! Headliners will play around 12pm each day.
Purty Mouth on Saturday, July 8
ThorNton Creek on Sunday, July 9
Other local acts will follow, see schedule below.

Thank you to Ann Radermacher for coordinating the open mic sets and to Walter Harley for sound engineering and equipment!

Purty Mouth - Saturday, July 8 at 12pm

We're a five piece with four part harmony: bass, drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, where everyone except me (on bass) sings. A mix of originals and covers (Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Wynn Stewart, Merle Haggard). We're just playing country & western music envisioned for a world where it's okay to be whatever you happen to be.
