OT: What are some good music festivals this summer & fall?

[methodology]

They couldn't get Goose so they got Geese?

You would think being from Norwalk they could have gotten Goose

Great jam band

They couldn't get Goose so they got Geese?

Isn't that their side project?

Boogie N' Blues Festival Lineup 2025 || Blues Festival in NH, NE

Blues Festival in NH, New England, this page has our Blues Lineup for the Festival

Couple friends of mine are headlining.

Carolyn Wonderland is fantastic. I saw her in Houston during the 2011 Final Four and again at Crawfish Fest in New Jersey, later that same year I believe.

I love this Dylan cover on her latest album (duet with Jimmie Dale Gilmore):

No idea

Completely different band members. Geese is from Brooklyn

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Geese sounds like they booked Goose for two or more sets.

If you're cheap like me, the Jazz Forum in Tarrytown (a very good jazz club if you haven't visited yet) hosts free outdoor jazz concerts all around the Tarrytown area. They haven't announced the dates yet, but here's the parent website:

In Katonah, NY, I love Caramoor. If I didn't have a trip planned, I would have attended their American Roots Festival on Saturday June 25th. Unless I'm super excited for the headliner, I typically get a daytime only pass, this year for $45, which gets you access to their music from 1 to about 6, which is spread out across three or four locations on their property. Same deal for their jazz festival on July 30th.

Molly Tuttle is worth the upcharge.

I'd be surprised if Foos are back doing shows before fall.

Is this the first year? No clue how I’ve never heard of it. I’m a fan of many of the bands playing.

Yes first year.

not a festival, per se, but Dead & Co tour dates just dropped - heavy presence in the Northeast !

I think I'll give 'em a shot. They are pretty loyal to Hartford.

I have not had the opportunity to enjoy much in the past few years as a full time care giver for my wife-I pulled the trigger and got tickets to the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas August 25 through 28th. Looking forward to this one. Check out this lineup.

So I pulled the trigger. Have not been able to take a vacation in years. Got my tickets to the Big Blues Bender in August. Las Vegas.

The Sea Music Festival used to be an annual event at the Mystic Seaport. Well, it is still alive, but it is not at the Seaport. This Festival has been around since the 1980's, my wife and I have attended it annually since 1996 (due to the pandemic, it did not take place the last couple of years). A great folk festival, especially for those who love to sing along to the songs, and believe me, the crowd that has attended in the past has certainly done so in the past.
