The Mother Hips Why We Chose Them Sometimes a band just HAS to play The Festy. The Hips are west-coast icons representing the Bay Area rock scene. We’ve become close friends with front man Tim Bluhm...and the stars finally aligned. —Michael Allenby, The Artist Farm Love Canon Why We Chose Them While you won’t see many “cover bands” at The Festy, Love Canon is the obvious exception. They have close ties, but more importantly they play hits...and they can pick!” —Michael Allenby, The Artist Farm Paper Bird Why We Chose Them After only one night with Paper Bird last winter on our Road to Boulder Tour it was clear they belonged at The Festy. Beautiful music made by beautiful people, this Colorado group, fronted by a female trio, is as unique as they are amazing. —Travis Book, The Infamous Stringdusters
