As the sun breaks the horizon each morning wander over to the Tito’s Strange Stage in the campground. Grab a taste of fresh ground Strange Coffee, get a bite to eat, and dive right back into the musical paradise that is Mountain Music Festival. This little oasis in the middle of the campground is a great daytime chill spot featuring a small stage, great people, food vendors, as well as glorious showers and bathrooms. Tito’s Handmade Vodka has also come on board to support MMFest in 2018 so look for some tasty giveaways here. Plus our friends Strange Coffee will be grinding the beans and roasting delicious coffee to keep you going all weekend.
As morning turns to midday Dr Slothclaw, The Pennsylvania based freak funk phenom will put a little juice back into your step. If P-Funk and Zappa had a lovechild, it would be Dr. Slothclaw and these guys have been blowing up the live music scene with their funky mix of blues, psychedelic and jam since 2006. While the band points to such bands as Turkuaz, Lettuce, Pink Floyd, and Primus as inspiration for their cross-genre sound, they find their home in the traditions of funk and blues. Dr Slothclaw is back for their second MMFest after lighting a fire on the lake stage in 2017.
Waking Up Friday Morning
An advantage to the 3-Day pass is a nice chill Friday morning. While everyone else is rolling into the campground and setting up for the weekend you will have your feet kicked up and jamming with the Americana roots music of Flat Tracker. This West Virginia band would be best defined as a rock ‘n roll band that lets their Appalachian flag fly. Fiery and full, Flat Tracker is for fans of homegrown honest music that all kinds can enjoy Another Mountain State band, Union Sound Treaty is bringing their mix of foot stomping music you might expect to hear in an Appalachian small town saloon. The boys of Union Sound Treaty take their audiences for an intense ride of hopeful highs and woeful lows with their blend of country, Americana, southern rock, bluegrass, and blues sounds. Show goers can rest assured they won’t be hearing any of the ear numbing clichés so often reused and reworded. Instead, audiences may find themselves in the shoes of some well-intentioned yet desperate criminal on the run or a hard working Appalachian giving up on the world to go find solace at the bottom of a glass on a Mexican beach.As morning turns to midday Dr Slothclaw, The Pennsylvania based freak funk phenom will put a little juice back into your step.
