Not that exciting…but it could be worse
Call me a Debbie Downer, but I’m just not that jazzed up about this year’s Musicfest lineup. I really hope that some day we can attract big-name rock/alternative bands to the festival. But I guess locally, country/blues-rock sells.
I think it’s great that we are at least getting some big names, and the festival is always an economic boost for the city. So kudos to Musicfest organizers for that.
Oh, and in case you’ve been under a rock for the last 24 hours, here’s the lineup:
Headliners on Oct. 3 and 4:
• John Anderson
• Kenny Wayne Shepherd
• Shooter Jennings
Leading in for the headliners on the main stage will be:
• Reckless Kelly
• Mando Saenz
• Adam Hood
• Two Empty Chairs
Here’s a taste of John Anderson live, as seen at a recent performance in Beaumont, Texas. He’s singing one of his biggest hits, “Straight Tequila Nights.”

i, too, prefer rock to country…so for now i will just stick to the side stages. there are some great local acts (pail, loggins, etc) and regional (midnight to twelve) who will grace those stages. but, i am looking forward to kenny wayne shepherd. he can bring the rock.
