Nicki Bluhm Why We Chose Them Having experienced The Festy with her band The Gramblers, there was a mutual interest in Nicki returning. She will travel from San Francisco to join us for the weekend...sitting in, joining the Gospel Hour, and who knows what else! —Michael Allenby, The Artist Farm Sarah Siskind Why We Chose Them Living in Nelson County, Sarah is a local superstar. In addition to Sarah playing in her band Sunliner, we have asked her to be around the entire weekend for a songwriting workshop, Gospel Hour, and hopefully more stage time. —Michael Allenby, The Artist Farm MarchFourth Marching Band Why We Chose Them We first crossed paths with MarchFourth at All Good a couple years ago and again on Jam Cruise last winter. I’m a huge fan of eccentric marching bands and this group of characters puts on one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever seen. I’m looking forward to having them around, keeping the party going strong. —Travis Book, The Infamous Stringdusters
