That’s right! The Jamwich is back with our personally selected list of what we believe are some of the hottest shows and events going down this week. If you haven’t been able to see as much live music as you would have liked to so far this year, now is the time to get out and soak up some sunshine while listening to your favorite band. No plans? No problem! Here’s what’s up this week.
Pyro Arts and Music Festival, presented by Music Festival Junkie, is going down this weekend at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Garrettsville, Ohio. The venue spans over 250 acres, with a variety of landscapes and tons of cool stuff to explore, and has been hosting music festivals for over 50 years. When you’re not on the beach dancing in front of the stage, consider going for a hike, catching a few fish, swimming in the spring-fed Quarry, or even try snorkeling and scuba diving. Bands that are scheduled to perform include Nahko and Medicine for the People, Wookiefoot, Rising Appalachia, Mike Love, Satsang and several others. To learn more about the venue’s deep history, access the full lineup, and purchase your tickets head on over to www.nlqp.com Weekend admission tickets are set at $120 if purchased in advance, and $150 the day of the event.
Nelsonville Music Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. Billboard has claimed that this festival is “one of the best kept secrets of the U.S. music festival circuit.” The event is a production of Stuart Opera House, a historic theater and performing arts center within the community. Organizers have teamed up with Rural Action’s Zero Waste program to reduce the impact of having such an event, and to promote environmental awareness in general. Bands on the lineup include Death Cab for Cutie, Mavis Stapes, Tyler Childers, The Breeders, The Wood Brothers, Mandolin Orange, Thee Oh Sees, Todd Snider, Bully, Darlingside and many, many more! General admission weekend passes are selling for $175, but you’ll also need a camping pass for $40 (which includes parking) if you want to pitch your tent. To learn more visit www.nelsonvillefest.org
