Come kick off the festival season at Earlybird Music Festival at the Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Garrettsville, Ohio. A once functional rock quarry, NLQP now serves as a retreat from the stresses of everyday life. The venue features forested camp sites, a fresh-water quarry for swimming and even cliff jumping, a main stage on the outskirts of a sandy beach, and lots of smiles. Come join The Werks, John Kadlecik Band, Broccoli Samurai, Zach Deputy, and more for an unforgettable weekend. Visit www.NLQP.com for more information about the festival and venue, to buy tickets, and reserve campsites.

Join everyone at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Mark in Live Oak, Florida for the music festival Wanee. The three-day-long festival starts this Thursday, although many goers will be showing up Wednesday for the festival kickoff party, known as Wanee Wednesday. The lineup for the weekend includes two sets from Widespread Panic, two sets from Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Main Squeeze, Marcus King Band, and many more.
