Magnolia fest starts today! Right now Jason Isbell is probably finishing his set, tomorrow North Mississippi All-Stars, Dr. John, Grandpa's Cough Medicine (Jacksonville locals), The Wailers and a whole slew of other talented musicians will take the stage. I unforunately will be missing those sets (for a good cause), but am beyond stoked for Saturday. Headlining is Lyle Lovett (!!!) and The Indigo Girls, but throughout the day Tim Reynolds, Bela Fleck, Jim Lauderdale, locals Canary in the Coalmine, Parker Urban Band, and Flagship Romance will take the stage. Honestly, there are too many folk to name, you can find the lineup here: http://www.magnoliafest.com/schedule/
Before the weekend is over I'm hoping to bump into folk I haven't seen awhile, grill tacos over a firepit, and if lucky get interviews with several headliners. Here's to hoping...
