OxFest: Music and Arts Festival also this weekend

JUST ANNOUNCED!!! $19 OXFEST TICKETS now available @ KEGFLY.COM. Get yours asap before you miss out on this great opportunity. 


Oxfest is the third installment of a music festival created by Stank Entertainment and OhioStandUp at Miami University. Last Spring, the event, offered a spring break atmosphere in a daylong music and arts festival. Due to the success and high demand for another fest, we are proud to announce the expansion of this series. Our goal is to continue to offer a fun and safe atmosphere through a unique college and festival experience. This community has already shown to be a strong one as the previous installments have been very successful. Because of this initial success, Stank Entertainment has high expectations this Spring.


OxFest is being held at Hannon's Camp America
Official page is at Miami OxFest Official page which also has a link to their facebook page

Many good bands there, and The Werks will be playing an early 3pm set!  It looks like southwest ohio has a couple great places to be this weekend. Much more coming up soon!

Megan and Eric Suttman's BarnJam this weekend!

"BarnJam is a bi-annual, rain or shine musical event/camp out if-you-want-to mini-fest. For the past 12 years Eric Suttman, Professor of Audio and Visual Production for the University of Dayton, has presented Barn Jam as a showcase for local and regional musical talent, making it an established and cherished event within the Dayton and Yellow Springs communities. It all goes down on his farm just outside Dayton, Ohio where two barns are transformed into unique music venues twice a year.
This year promises to begin a great new tradition as Eric has teamed up with Cinci/NKY based MoreThanOrganic Productions to bring you Barn Jam – Spring 2011 w/The Werks, The Prosperity, Blue Moon Soup, Incendium Arts, and more…..
Our goal is to promote the local and regional music scene and to raise funds for UDSAP, by providing a memorable experience that is focused around music, art, and the community.
**Barn Jam is proud to contribute a portion of all proceeds to the University of Dayton’s Summer Appalachia Program (UDSAP) which allows UD students to spend a summer improving the living conditions of Appalachian families."

Tickets are only 20 dollars at the gate. This looks like a great time this coming weekend. Lots of good music and special appearances!

Tribez Vibez returns for 2011

After their first shot at doing a multi-cultural festival last year, the guys from Tribez Vibez have decided to have another go at it. Along with a change in venue has came a drastic change in the initial lineup.

I don't know what everyone elses thoughts are, but to me this initial flyer is looking pretty promising. A lot of solid acts on the bill this year, and more to come. It looks like after what could be described as lackluster for last year's show, that the Tribez Vibez team are going to put together something that could be pretty magical. There is already a facebook group for the event, although tribezvibes.com has still not been updated from last year's event.

Hash Bash 2011 was a great success this year. One of the best turnouts I've seen in many years. Tons of great acts and the party didn't stop until the sun came up the next day. I will have some pics up tomorrow along with some more info about Hash Bash an the Spring Hookah in the Hills that went on this past weekend. Can you smell the spring air?!

Welcome!

The goal of this blog will be to keep everyone in the region up to date on all the big music happenings throughout the Midwest. We'll mostly be covering events in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and parts of PA and West Virginia. We'll be covering mostly festivals that relate to the jam band and bluegrass style culture, but also diving into a lot of a lot of electronic events.  The season has already started and we are stoked!
