The folks over at the Pickathon festival have come up with their own genre called “Indie-Roots” to describe the type of music featured at this year’s event. They define Indie-Roots as “the subjective and diverse intersections of Indie, Rock, Singer Songwriter, and a variety of traditional music styles (i.e. Bluegrass, Blues, Folk, Country, Swing, etc.)” However you describe it the lineup is is truly impressive with artists such as The Avett Brothers, Erin McKeown, The Gourds and Alela Diane. The festival also has an impressive web site with loads of festival information, video and music.
