Based on the success of 2009 we're now looking at 40 locations
and well over 100 acts and adding classical and punk themes as well
as more jazz and more rock for 2010.
Over just one weekend those locations will be jumping with great
sound. From great pop from groups like How's
My Pop, ripping old school rock from Rewind,
latin fusion from Lava,
award winning mountain dulcimer from Chattanooga's Butch
Ross, boogie blues from Boogie
Bill Williams, a turn from the frantic mod punk boogaloo of
The
Convulsions to name but a very few along with many other local,
national and international acts.
Below is a list of all the acts booked for the 2009 festival in
alphabetic order (click <here>
for shows by date and time and <here>
for shows by venue). We have already started the promotion for 2010.
We will start to update the 2010 calendar in the summer of 2010
though we will be accepting band applications from November 1st
(click <HERE>
to apply) until July 20th.
