Festival Showcase: Dunegrass

Published by The Webmaster at 12:27 am under Festival Showcase Edit This

Located in the sleepy little town of Empire, Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunegrass and Blues Festival (gotta love that name!) is a much smaller festival, with an estimated crowd size of roughly 8,000 people. As it is right on the lake, patrons enjoy awesome tunes while the Lake Michigan breeze keeps them cool on the hot afternoons and at night as they’re partyin it up.

They’ve had some pretty big names over the years, as well. Richie Havens (he opened Woodstock – the original in ’69), Buckethead, Keller Williams, Dark Star Orchestra, Bela Fleck, Yonder Mountain String Band, and a host of others. Real relaxed, family atmosphere that is great fun!
