Im going to the vibes. I went last year and had a blast. It's going to be smaller this year but its still going to be great.(4 hours of DSO)! A lot of kind, chill people listening to great music.
I wish I had gone last year, but I didn't know about it until like two days after... Oh well, yeah, so where is it held? What are the main acts?
Last year we had Allman Bros, James Brown, Govt mule, Zen Tricksters, Addison Groove Project, Karl Denson, Keller Williams, Rusted Root. But like I said it's scaled down this year. But we do have on Friday the Zen Tricksters, Strangefolk, and then hours of Dark Star Orchestra. On Saturday there will be a 4 hour funk jam session with many diffrent people. Guests from funk bands like Deep Banana Blackout and Parliment Funkadelic, etc. Also Steve Kimock, Addison Groove Project, Bomb Sqaud, AOD, and Physcedelic Breakfast. I dont think it is finalized yet though. Should be a good time.
Its at Indian Country Lookout Club in Mariaville New York (near Albany). Its only $80. Chech out all the info on gatheringofthevibes.com
Hopefully me and my brothers will be going this year. We've been regular attendents of the Berkshire Mountain Music fest for the last three years, but with our much loved Berkfest gone, we have to find a new festival to call our home. I really hope Keller plays at hthe Vibe this year, Keller and Dark STar togther in the same weekend would be incredable.
I went last year for Fri. only to see the Black Crowes and had a blast!! if I got this year I'm def. getting a weekend pass.
