In The Future...The First Annual River Barge Festival; Justin Rutledge and Jenn Grant @ The WECC; and more!

The first annual River Barge Festival is going down this year at the Forks.

The concept: over 30 local/national musicians and performers will do their respective things from a floating stage (a barge!) on the Red River.

The dates: August 25 - 29.

The cost: free!

The musicians featured (to name a few): Greg MacPherson, Christine Fellows, Chic Gamine, Romy Mayes, Sierra Noble, and Magnum KI.

For the full line-up and schedule check this link out. Here's to hoping the barge doesn't get stuck on a sand bar...
