On Saturday, May 11, attendees can enjoy sets from southern blues-rock band North Mississippi Allstars, country act American Aquarium, and rock group Futurebirds before funk-infused Southern rockers JJ Grey & Mofro take the stage. The following day, Sunday, May 12, Nashville guitarist Grace Bowers, Austin’s White Denim, and LA’s The Record Company will lead up to the psychedelic soul sounds of Black Pumas.

The festival will be held at Winfield Farm in Scaly Mountain, just seven miles from Highlands.
