There is also a free t-shirt and other goodies in it for you. Volunteers must be at least 21 (photo IDs will be checked) and are NOT permitted to drink alcohol during the hours of the fest. We also need people to help work the door, run the registration booths out front, and dump the dump buckets. There will be an optional preview volunteer meeting at HIGHWIRE LOUNGE behind Trappeze Pub in Athens on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 6:30 PM for those who want to sign up in advance for their favorite tables. The MANDATORY meeting for ALL volunteers is at 11:30 AM SHARP at Graduate Athens on the day of the festival. All volunteers are encouraged to show up on festival day as early as 9 AM to help load beer. To volunteer, please CLICK HERE. Your name will be placed on our volunteer contact list, and group volunteer email information will be sent out starting in mid-March. Please be patient and save the date. THANKS! |

LIVE MUSIC The Welfare Liners The
Welfare Liners came together from the eclectic Athens, GA music scene
in 2010 and combined contemporary and traditional influences to create
a brand of bluegrass that has earned praise from young and old. Slowly,
original compositions began to make there way in to sets previously
dominated by standards from Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and The
Stanley Brothers. These original songs borrowed heavily from the
tradition of brother harmony mastered by Jim & Jesse and The Louvin
Brothers. |
