Are you ready? We are!

This year we will be welcoming Greystoke Band and Crimson Rose to the stage on Friday! Greystoke Band will take the stage at 4:30 and Crimson Rose will follow them at 7!

On Saturday, we will welcome Neenah back to the stage and she’s bringing Courtney with her! After these lovely ladies, hear how it all started from the founders of the NC Gold Foundation! Mike Pung, Gold Cube’s manufacturer will be presenting “Fine Gold Recovery” at 1, then Doug and Terry will be performing some oldie but goodies in a jam session!

Lots of fun and exciting things happening this year during the festival. Which act are you most looking forward to up on stage?
