All Good Festival Preview

For the 15th consecutive year, music fans will flock in droves to the annual All Good Festival.  For the ninth year in a row, the festival will take place in Masontown, West Virginia, at Marvin's Mountaintop - and with good reason.  This venue for the festival creates a natural ampitheater by placing the stages at the bottom of a hill, allowing for the finest of natural acoustics, not to mention a glorious view of a moutain backdrop behind the stages.  

All Good sets itself apart from the average summer festival by utilizing a rotating, two-stage setup, which allows All Good Festivalfor no overlapping sets, ensuring that everyone in attendance can potentially see every single act on the bill.  And with this year's lineup featuring the likes of Furthur, Primus, Pretty Lights, moe., Umphrey's McGee, Sound Tribe Sector 9, the John Butler Trio, Dark Star Orchestra, the Warren Haynes Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, Keller Williams, Galactic, and Toots and the Maytals (not to mention many, many others), festival goers will certainly want to take advantage of this unique setup to truly get their money's worth. 

All Good FestivalAll Good will take place from July 14-17.  Look for our coverage of the event in upcoming issues that will include special guest interviews.  For tickets and information, visit AllGoodFestival.com.

Andrew is originally from Boston, but has spent equal time in Richmond and considers both home.  He graduated VCU with a B.A. in English and looks forward to seeing if his degree will be worth a damn.  While attending Northeastern University, Andrew began covering music for the Zig-Zag Live website and tour campaign, which won him the undying affection of Bostonians because of his access to free rolling papers.  He is fortunate enough to have parents with great taste in music and owes much of his musical sensibilities to them.  Some of his favorites include the Beatles, the Clash, My Morning Jacket, Mastodon, Mission of Burma, all 70s R&B, and anything that can be considered "outlaw."  Other hobbies include food, guitar, whiskey, hiking, Boston sports, and maintaining his beginner-level fish tank.
