Pickathon 2008 - Day 1 from Dave Allen on Vimeo.

It’s the Pickathon Roots Music Festival’s 10th anniversary and things are just kicking off. The first band hit the stage at 4PM but I have no idea who as I’m backstage trying to upload this video. Anyway, we have an interview with Zale Schoenborn the festival’s founder followed by a chat with Mark, the site’s architect and engineer, who is responsible for the awesome canopies that help shade the audience from the sun. We wrap it up with the fabled and infamous Malibu Mike…….. Check back for live video footage of performances tonight by Jolie Holland and Langhorne Slim.

Hackensaw Boys in the Galaxy Barn

Last night saw the close of the Pickathon Roots Music Festival that takes place every year just outside Portland at Pendarvis Farm. Here’s a Pickathon 2008 photo page. Feel free to download any of the pictures but please credit me and Pampelmoose. There are instructions on the page. Enjoy! More coming soon along with more video.

As Pickathon celebrates its 10th Anniversary this years Festival is going to be a doozy. Jolie Holland, Langhorne Slim, Danny Barnes back with his Bad Livers, Kelly Joe Phelps, Melissa Ferrick and many, many more all ready to rock the main stage and, of course, long into the night in the more intimate barn. It all takes place over three days of festivities and camping just 20 minutes outside Portland at Pendarvis Farms. All the information you’ll ever need is here. And the full line-up list is here.
