After a brief hiatus in 2024, the festival will take place on Friday, June 20th and Saturday, June 21st at the iconic Old Rock House, a venue known for its intimate atmosphere, city-setting and proud support of independent music. This year, we’re bringing things back to our roots: intimate setting, powerhouse performances, and a damn good time. Kicking off the two-day celebration on Friday night,
June 20th, is Americana legends Old 97s, whose signature mix of alt-country, rock, and pop has won over generations of fans since their first release in 1994. Known for their electrifying performances and genre-bending tunes like “Timebomb” and “Question,” Old 97s have been staples in the Americana scene for over two decades, continuing to push boundaries and keep their sound fresh and exciting. On Saturday, June 21st, Pony Bradshaw will take the stage, bringing his soulful blend of Southern folk and heartfelt storytelling. With a unique voice and a finely crafted evocative narratives, Pony Bradshaw has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most exciting rising artists in the Americana scene. While the festival may be scaled back this year, its spirit remains as strong as ever. “It’s hard out there for the independents,” said John Henry, festival founder. “But we wanted to continue the event to showcase great music at a venue that proudly supports artists and the independent music community. We hope you’ll enjoy the intimate shows!” Life is too short to miss a show.
