Utopia Fest Announces 2012 Dates and Initial Lineup: Dr. Dog, Toubab Krewe, The Werks & More
From UtopiaFest.com
“Travis Sutherland and Onion Creek Productions are proud to present the 4th annual UTOPiAfest hosted at Four Sisters Ranch in Utopia, TX, September 28-30, 2012. UTOPiAfest will announce the full artist lineup with festival sponsor 360 Vodka on Friday, June 15th. Details of the announcement will be made available via Facebook and Twitter in the days prior to June 15th.
Established in 2009 on his family’s 1,000-acre ranch in Utopia, TX, festival founder Travis Sutherland says, “UTOPiAfest offers a true alternative to the large, multi-stage music festival that often favor quantity over a quality audience experience.”
The festival site, a secluded, natural amphitheatre with breathtaking Hill Country vistas, is near many local attractions including the Frio River, Medina River, Lost Maples, and Garner State Park. In addition to the scenery, UTOPiAfest is striving to provide a quality festival experience by maintaining a list of core values including a capped audience of 1,800 attendees, low ticket prices, BYOB, and a family-friendly atmosphere.
“The capped audience will have plenty of room to dance, camp, and enjoy musicians that regularly play to crowds of 30,000 or more,” Aaron Brown, Director of UTOPiAfest, said.
Other festival activities include: morning yoga, daycare, a disc golf course, displays of fine art and jewelry, and food and craft vendors. Tickets for UTOPiAfest are on sale at utopiafest.com . Prices include tax, fees, parking, and on-site camping. Upgrades with small extra fees are available for Thursday pre-party passes and RV camping passes.”

NedFest 2012 Announces Dates & Lineup
From NedFest 2012
“The 14th annual NedFest – returning August 24-26, 2012 to the Jeff Guercio Memorial Ballfield on the banks of Barker Reservoir in the beautiful high-country town of Nederland, Colorado – is proud to officially announce its artist lineup. Tickets are available now at NedFest.com. With a dependable yearly lineup, partnerships with local breweries, tickets capped at 2,000 and a true scene of devotees that returns year after year, NedFest continues to keep the mountain town’s homegrown musical legacy alive.
When festival founder “Michigan Mike” Torpie passed away in November 2011, there were a lot of doubts in the community about what was going to happen to NedFest. Eventually, a group of his friends and long-time festival volunteers got together and asked his family what they would like to do with the festival. The Torpie family did not want to make money from Mike’s death so a non-profit organization named “Peak to Peak Music Education Association” was formed. The non-profit intends to help in the education of music for children. The Torpie family liked the idea and gave their blessings to continue NedFest.
This year, the festival features top headliners like a one-off performance from Keller Williams, Steve Kimock & Kyle Hollingsworth; the Jimmy Herring Band featuring the Widespread Panic guitarist and Jeff Sipe on drums; long-time festival favorite Melvin Seals and JBG and a yet-to-be-announced Grammy-winning band. Additionally, the festival continues it tradiotn of featuring top Colorado musicians. Kyle Hollingsworth Band featuring the String Cheese Incident keyboardist and drummer Dave Watts of The Motet; Great American Taxi featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon; Yarn; Fox Street Allstars and many more are also featured.
A pair of late-night shows at the First Street Pub, which have become legendary over the years, also take place Friday and Saturday nights of the festival with top Boulder acts Jet Edison and Smooth Money Gesture.”
Announced Lineup:
Steve Kimock, Keller Williams and Kyle Hollingsworth • Special, Grammy-winning Headliner TBA • Jimmy Herring Band featuring Jeff Sipe • Melvin Seals and JBG • Kyle Hollingsworth Band featuring Dave Watts of The Motet • Great American Taxi featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon • Hot Buttered Rum • New Monsoon • Yarn • Grant Farm • Fox Street Allstars • Fruition • Jeff Scroggins and Colorado • She Said String Band • The No Go Gillbillies • Magnolia Row • Danny Shafer • Whiskey Bottles • Blackdog • Jubal • Jaden Carlson • And More TBA
