High Sierra Confirms Hippiedom
Everyone I know that’s attended the High Sierra Music Festival over the past few years swears to everything holy that it’s the greatest thing since bread sliced by width. I’ve never been out there, but I’m tempted to find out.
High Sierra announced its no-frills, no-Coachella-influenced lineup today, and the initial announcement includes Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon, Les Claypool, Galactic, Del McCoury Band, Soulive, Mavis Staples, Tea Leaf Green, ALO, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, JJ Grey & MOFRO, Hot Buttered Rum, The New Mastersounds, Bobby Previte’s Coalition of the Willing, Toubab Krewe, Outformation and Ryan Montbleau Band. Pretty solid. Tickets are on sale.

Who’s goin’ out there? Speak up.
Ace lad, I’m certainly entertaining the idea. Having spent a few years in Sacramento, High Sierra has always been one of the fests I’ve been looking to catch. If you end up going, drop me a line. You know where to find me.
Outformation, huh?
Is Keller Williams dead or something?

Interesting….tell me more. What’s the deal with late nights? This looks like a crackerjack lineup in a hippy part of the world.
Good point, Chilly…Keller and Franti not on this bill? Why do they even call it a festival? Why bother!
Sisto, let’s talk. This could happen.
