The festival season has arrived! Last month we kicked things off in Baltimore with the Charm City Bluegrass Festival and earlier this month, D.C. joined in with their annual Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival!

The Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival took place the weekend of May 4th. The line-up consisted of amazing local and regional musicians representing a variety of cultures, genders, and ages. The music was accompanied by local food trucks, craft beer, and merchants making for a wonderful weekend outdoors!

In addition to many great artists, this year’s festival line-up included some of our favorites: Dustbowl Revival, Wicked Sycamore, Justin Trawick and the Common Good, and Haint Blue!
