AKUS is booked for MerleFest 25. They are the closing performers of the festival, so they'll be playing Sunday, April 29th. It's funny how the AKUS site makes no mention of this booking. Read about it from the MerleFest 25 site (http://merlefest.org/content.aspx?id=7602).
Anyone planning on going? Has anyone been to any previous MerleFests?

lplives, don't get me started about alisonkrauss.com
They posted on December 6 that AKUS would be on Leno on December 5!
I, for one, am not a big fan of festivals....noisy people drinking too much beer. I could be wrong about MerleFest.
Anyone here ever been?

I've been to about 5 Merlefests, mostly whenever Alison performs. Great family atmosphere, with folks bringing their kids to the Wilkesboro Community College campus. They'll have about 7 stages around the grounds where performers perform during the afternoon and evenings, Thursday through Sunday. They'll have over 80,000 attend during the 4 day event. Don't think they sell beer. Alison will perform to about 10-15,000 sitting in front of their big stage. If the weather holds, a great time is guaranteed.

Sounds good to me... I thought I saw something on MerleFest's site that no alcohol or tobacco is allowed while on campus grounds. greenmoray: have you ever been to the IBMA FanFest? That's a great festival that's not like your typical "festival." For one, it's indoors. |
