Intro To Festivals

Any music enthusiast who hasn't already checked out the festival scene, I'm urging strongly to do so this year. Make it a post scriptum to your new years resolutions. Music Festivals are not just for hippies, they are where all the music is happening today. And unlike the amphitheatre venues, the rules are relaxed and you can usually camp out under the stars knowing that a cop/bum won't be waking you up at 4AM.

Music festivals have quickly become a haven for independent artists to showcase their music, and so they are also the place to experience what is going on right now. There are often a few pretty well known headliners at each festival, many of whom are also independant artists also (unbeknownst to you). A few good examples of this are STS9, Keller Williams, Perpetual Groove, or Xavier Rudd.

Anyhow, over the next few months, as festival season approaches, we'll occasionally give a look at what's going on this year.
