MEET OUR HEADLINER!
Margaret Glaspy has been making waves in the music industry
Her recent EP The Sun Doesn't Think (ATO) follows her critically acclaimed album Echo The Diamond, which garnered praise from The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, and Rolling Stone.
Her 2023 album Echo The Diamond featured singles like "Act Natural," which reached the top 20 at AAA Radio—her highest chart position to date. With her ability to strip away artifice and reveal life's harsh truths and ineffable beauty, Margaret Glaspy promises to deliver an unforgettable performance at this year's festival. Check out her live performance of “Act Natural” here.
Don't miss this opportunity to see this rising star live! And the best part?
Admission is completely FREE!
