CULTURE CREATORS

We're regularly updating this list of artists. We commonly add new artists all the way up until the festival depending on how last minute sponsors and donors give to increase our festival budget. We also want to be grace-filled and allow for hard luck cancellations.

You don’t need to be officially booked or listed on our website to participate in the song circles which are the foundation of our festival.  

As a community-based festival, we’re intentional about creating a culture where our artists become friends with other artists and local listeners. We hope our artists get to experience community on a level touring doesn't often afford. There's a good chance many people haven't heard of the talent we book. We book almost exclusively independent artists who are not yet represented by an agent.

We believe we’re building the kind of festival community where artists walk away feeling poured into and refueled by inspiration and new connections. Many artists make it a point to hold the last weekend in July every year and participate regardless of whether they’re paid or not. People have traveled to our festival from as far as Texas on their own accord.
