Just like Movement, another year, another Nelsonville - it's become a yearly staple. The mix of folk and bluegrass, alongside some deep heavy grunge rock, against some major pop/rock acts, while throwing in an R&B soul legend - that’s a festival I want to be at. Add to that a phenomenal group of “homies” to camp and party with, it’s a little slice of heathen.
For me, the lineup this year was one to discover new artists. I knew for sure I wanted to see Laura Gibson and Mandolin Orange - two favorites who I have not seen live yet. I left this festival becoming a fan of The Brother Brothers, Sun June, The Huntress & Holder of Hands, Campdogzz, and more. Of course I also saw the venerable Wood Brothers and the ever-present Death Cab for Cutie. I did decide to get on the long road home before being able to catch Mavis Staples the last night. I’m also proud of the amazing Cleveland contingent there. Mourning [A] BLKstar woke EVERYONE up with their rousing opening of the Main Stage, just following up from The Katy opening the Porch Stage a little earlier.
I already can’t wait for next year.
