LIL' JOHN'S MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL: A PIECE OF THE MOUNTAINS IN THE PIEDMONT
May 25-27, 2017
Tucked away in a corner of the Triangle filled with rolling green hills, Lil John’s Mountain Music Festival is a little bluegrass heaven. Situated at the beautiful Cane Creek Campground, the festival is full of top notch musical entertainment this Memorial Day Weekend.
Whether you’re listening to Sideline at the kick-off potluck dinner, competing in the cornhole tournament, catching Seldom Scene on the wooden stage, bumping into the Flatt Lonesome twins by the pond, or taking your kid to the musical workshop, you’ll always be surrounded by natural beauty and melodic greatness.
The entire event begins with a Battle of the Bands, which is a great way to introduce you to new acts that you’ll able to say you saw way back when. Come get settled in early in your camper or tent. There’s 70 wooded acres on site, all studded with rustic farm equipment, barns, windmills, and even a bluegrass museum. Other acts include James King Tribute Band, Dudley Connell, Ron Stuart, Steve Dilling, Chris Hill, Jason Moore, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Boxcars, Dave Adkins, Feller & Hill, David Parmley & The Cardinal Tradition, Hammertowne, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Three Jack Jenny, and Salt & Light.
The festival has been a regional tradition for years and as one attendee commented, it’s just a “special place to hear bluegrass”. Grab your pick and your ticket and head on down.
