Follow your friends to Springville, IN. Full Festival, Single Day, and Friday/Saturday Combo Tickets are now on sale. Here we go!

e, and you do. Just imagine who you would love to see sitting or dancing next to you, tell them that you'll be at “The Most Laid Back Festival in America. We’re tickled to announce the final lineup for the 2022 festival. We’ve put together a superlative lineup that features many of the acts that were booked (and never performed) at the 2020 festival. We know this diverse lineup will appeal to bluegrass, newgrass, jamgrass and old time fans. At the center of our booking philosophy is the concept of putting together a roster of talent that is as eclectic and varied as the music of our festival namesake, John Hartford. The final lineup for the official 2022 John Hartford Memorial Festival Features: Leftover Salmon, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, The Dillards, The High Hawks, Becky Buller Band, Henhouse Prowlers, Great American Taxi, Julian Davis & The Situation, Damn Tall Buildings, Chicago Farmer & the Fieldnotes, Wolfpen Branch, David Davis & The Warrior River Boys, The Lonesome Ace Stringband, The Sweet Lillies, Mama Said String Band, Never Come Down, Lily B Moonflower, Miles Over Mountains, Stillhouse Junkies, Good Morning Bedlam, Phillip Steinmetz & His Sunny Tennesseans, One Way Traffic, Chain Station, New Old Cavalry, Deep Fried Pickle Project, Red Mountain Boys, Hot Brown Smackdown, River Valley Rangers, Joe Kidd & Shelia Burke. Twelve years ago, festival founder John Hotze, gathered a hundred of his friends and family and celebrated the life of his childhood friend, John Hartford. This inaugural gathering took place in the most appropriate form of jubilation, that of a festival. John Hartford was a trend setting, genre bending, creative force that left a culturally rich legacy of musical history. We hope that our event, your event, honors this legacy and continues to inspire the next generation of pickers and grinners. Follow your friends to Springville, IN and enjoy the 2022 John Hartford Memorial Festival the Most Laid Back Festival in America.

Please know that while the Folky Fish Fest is just that the Folky Fish Fest. Behind the curtin are several of the people behind the John Hartford Memorial Festival. It truly takes a village to raise a child and while we are now in our infancy with the help of our family we will grow please if you can reach out and show support for our endeavor, get the word out that we exist and that we will do great things. Our goal is to build a Festival where the pickers want to be and the Festival folk are family. We have done it once and can do it again. I promise I will do all I can so in a way we may have our time again. I need to sell 600 tickets and then we are off to the races. Profit is off the table we look to build comunity, continuity of family so if you are of mind shout us out to those that can afford and shout out to me if you can volunteer. I need you. One more time let's build this together. In solidarity.Bob and Terry
