I just found out the sleepy (and lazy) little town I live by is holding a Music & Arts festival and they want people to come out to jam. The lady putting it on is looking for jam bands, bluegrass, blues, rock, what ever you play she wants you there. This is the first year they are doing it and the city really doesn't care. But if this becomes a yearly event (like planned) they want it to grow with artists not only all over the West Texas and Southwest, but also across the country. It's this weekend, June 16th from 10am to 10 pm. If anyone is interested, PM me and I will get you her info or get her your info. It's free and at no cost to you. Plus there are a few free campgrounds around here. Lets help show this town that I needs this.

We want people not only to come out for the music but also savour the flavour of a small town as we celebrate arts, music, food, and friendliness that a small town has to offer.
