Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Someone noted that they had 36 slots filled last year and we're at 24(?). A lot of bands started early in the day, starting Thursday. Even bands that I consider top (Drive by truckers, Grace Potter) were fairly early in the afternoon. With one act at a time, it might get tight; I hope they don't cut back the time allotted for the bands I like to get more in. And a short slot makes it harder for improvisation and other artists who are on campus sitting in. Someone noted that they had 36 slots filled last year and we're at 24(?).

Hey musicphan, could you please recommend some stuff for me to check out from them? A good live set would be great if you am think of one. I sit at my desk during work looking for music to listen so I've got the time if you've got the inclination
Internet Archive-Strangefolk
It was either Worf or Sneake, I think, that hooked me into the Archive and I lost the post somewhere on this forum where they explained how you can download these shows (for free). An exceptional resource, to be sure.
I would listen to their old stuff (1997 - 2002) and then the most recent 'reunion' shows. Gives you an idea of their roots and how they 'might' be approaching it for the fest. I find them to be a mellow jammy vibe, a perfect fit for Lockn. Their first record Strangefolk is amazing. If I could learn how, I'd post a Spotify highlight of them.
I'm truly not a fanboi of theirs, per say. Just one of those bands I kept coming across and enjoying a tune here and there. Never seem them live which is why I was so excited when I heard the original members are playing Lockn. I think, (as in my own personal opinion) that this is a very good fit and I betcha they are going to make a lot of new fans. Let me know if I can be of additional assistance.

This ain't he said she said. The words are there and they've been quoted.
It's not like I'm threatening to ban him or anything, so I don't see why the christ you all have to jump on me. Except smosey, who's presumably been waiting for an excuse...but I digress.
I stand by what I said and I'd say it again, whether it was directed at me, you, or no one in particular. I'm right, he's wrong, and there's pretty much nothing you, or anyone else, can do to change my mind, so you may as well save your breath.
If it comes to handing in my badge, so be it. If it means some of you ragequit, or whatever other emotional blackmail you can come up with, that's fine too.
I will never be ok with censorship or name-calling. And even if it was misunderstood, it was because of the way he typed it, not my lack of understanding. Apologies are due, but not from me.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Worf's stand is right on. I'm just sick to see it escalate to this tragedy! Yes, I see both sides of this coin that the guy meant I really like them so check it out carefully 'cause you might too. And Worf's position of that is not what he said, his inaccurately worded comment amounted to censorship. Even though that wasn't the intention, Worf's stand was from his core and meant to protect everyone and their fundamental rights.
I don't know how to change fonts so this is in huge dancing rainbow lettesr: WORF I'M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND COME BACK!!!!

I put Moonalice in the "I can take it or leave it" category. I won't kill myself to get there. And I won't leave if they're sandwiched in between two things I care about.

I know I'm probably close to being alone on this, but I feel like Fishbone could actually work. It's also been over 20 years since last I saw them live but their upbeat ska should be a nice energy and something different compared to the other acts. I just don't get Slightly Stoopid...ska? Reggae? Some jam thrown in the mix? I've heard 3 or 4 songs of theirs that I like but can't get in a grove with them.

Turns out this is the year all of my friends I usually go with cancel as they just told me they are going out of the country the week before and won't be making it. They told me I should come but no way am I missing this year. Trying to find someone else to go with me but if all else fails I'll be headed there by myself.

I see as I write this that the bands don't really fit into one-word categories but overall there is a logical progression, and the "odd-man-out" bands are early in the afternoon. and as long as it's not annoying, the variety is fine by me.

He shredded Stella Blue a couple weeks ago at the Mateel on the pedal steel. The whole show was great! Barry played a couple songs with the warmup band and it was cool too.
