Grassroots in Trumansburgh, NY is one of my favorite festivals of the year. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the lineup announcement since purchasing our 4 day festival and camping passes a couple of months ago.

The festival will be headlined by Donna The Buffalo, Lucinda Williams, & Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Other performers include reggae pioneers John Brown’s Body who perform to massive crowds in their home town. I’m also looking forward to see The Hackensaw Boys, Giant Panda Guerrilla Dub Squad, and up and coming newgrass greats Big Leg Emma who I’ve been following for years at the Great Blue Heron festival.

I’ve been gone the past week at the Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY which wrapped up it’s 17th year of local and international music acts on Sunday.

The first couple of days camping on the side of the road were fun but it made for a long weekend especially with the rain the first couple of days. It was well worth it though when the gates opened on Thursday we were able to get our best camping spot ever at the edge of the infield stage. The weather cleared by Friday and we had 3 solid days of fun and music in the sun.

Highlights of our weekend included John Browns Body, Keith Frank, The Cat Empire, Bearfoot, and JSan Analouge Sons & of course local favorites and hosts of the festival Donna The Buffalo. 12,000 festival goers attended this weekends event.

Check out the pics as well as a few videos from the weekend that we took below.

enjoy!
