With festival season coming upon us I decided to devote the next few Music Fridays to acts that you will be able to find at festivals in the next few months. Festivals are still the best way to take in a lot of acts/bands for one reasonable price. Supporting your favorite festival insures that...

With the coming of Fall, the 2010 Festival season is winding down. The autumn months are often actually the best time to go to one.
