Merlefest 2010 Lineup Announced

Its not too early to start planning for Merlefest 2010, held April 29 -May 2 in Wilkesboro North Carolina. This year MyJoog covered the festival and we hope to return again next year. Many of the same great artists are returning but there are also a few new acts. Can't wait to see The Avett Brothers and Little Feat and Elvis Costello; Donna the Buffalo and Dailey & Vincent and The Lee Boys. Red Molly made it this year, alright. And John Hammond. Wonder if Roy Book Binder had anything to do with that. Every artist in the list below is outstanding in their own right - six months to go. Tickets go on sale November 10th.
