Are you rockin’ body paint to work under your corporate clothes?
Does your arm reek of the odors of tattered, months-old festival wristbands?
Do you find yourself sporting an authentic Native American headdress to the grocery store?
Have you been hippie dancing & hooping in your backyard while your speakers blare your favorite concerts?
—————————
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then you might be suffering from a musical hangover courtesy of festival season. The summer is growing hotter here in the deep South and that means festival season is coming to a close. Hangout Fest, Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees and Counterpoint have all come and gone and it’s time to kiss festival season goodbye. But fear not, live music-loving friends, we’ve got a remedy! Only one prescription can break your music fest fever (and no, it’s not more cowbell), the remedy is a steady diet of live music from your favorite festival acts. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of some of our favorite acts in the festival circuit and made a note of when they’ll be back in our fair city for your listening pleasure.
