The Texas Hill Country comes alive with the sounds of Americana and roots music of all varieties, April 10-13, 2014. That’s when the Old Settler’s Music Festival returns to the Salt Lick BBQ Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, Texas, just south of Austin. Now in its 27th year, the festival also takes place during what’s usually the height of bluebonnet and wildflower season.
Although Old Settler’s has grown in popularity over the years, it retains a more casual and laid-back down-home Texas vibe than a couple of other notable Austin area music festivals. Among the diverse array of talented performers on the 2014 lineup are Big Head Todd & The Monsters, The Black Lillies, Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges & The Abiders, The Deadly Gentlemen, The Del McCoury Band, Della Mae, Donna The Buffalo, Elephant Revival, John Fullbright, Gaelic Storm, The Gibson Brothers, Sarah Jarosz, Lake Street Dive, Parker Millsap, North Mississippi Allstars, Tim O’Brien and Darrell Scott, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Peter Rowan, Bob Schneider, Shinyribs, Shovels & Rope, Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys, and more.
In addition to concerts on four stages, there will be workshops, sing-a-longs and impromptu jam sessions, a youth talent competition and children’s activities, a market area featuring arts and crafts, specialty foods and craft brews, and lots of tasty barbecue.
Discounted admission wristbands are available online until March 31. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.oldsettlersmusicfest.org or call 888-512-SHOW.
