To download our high res press photos please follow this link: https://ossipeevalley.com/participate/press-page/ Daily Headliner Short Bios: Saturday: The Wood Brothers This roots rock trio is magical, and they have been gaining recognition and fame–touring most recently with Tedeschi Trucks, selling out their own shows throughout the country, and headlining at large festivals and venues such as Newport Folk, Red Rocks and more. Their incredibly powerful blend of acoustic and electric, of funk and soul, and of raucous and vulnerable, is the perfect fit for the headling spot to our 20th annual festival–nobody brings the mojo like The Wood Brothers! Saturday: Billy Strings-Billy Strings is a pioneer in modern bluegrass with a bend— He has been invited to play on stage with Del McCoury, David Grisman, Sam Bush, The Infamous Stringdusters, Leftover Salmon, and more. And the industry has taken notice: He just won IBMA 2016 Momentum Awards Instrumentalist of the Year for guitar, banjo and mandolin and was voted #1 in, scene tastemaker, Bluegrass Situation’s Top 16 of ’16. Friday: Dustbowl Revival- The Dustbowl Revival has been making a name for itself with a vibrant mix of vintage Americana sounds. Critics have proclaimed that this eclectic eight-piece “would have sounded utterly at home within the hallowed confines of Preservation Hall in New Orleans’ French Quarter” (Los Angeles Times) and their “upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear” (L.A. Weekly). Rob Sheffield, in Rolling Stone, hailed them as a great band “whose Americana swing was so fun I went back to see them again the next day.” Saturday-Alash: Whatever you do–don’t miss this! We are thrilled to welcome the outstanding ensemble Alash to our stage in 2018. Hailing from Tuva, a republic of the southern Siberia region, Alash is a group of masters of traditional nstruments and of throat singing. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage. Thursday: Lakou Mizik-Lakou Mizik is a multigenerational collective of Haitian musicians formed in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake. The group includes elder legends and rising young talents, united in a mission to honor the healing spirit of their collective culture and communicate a message of pride, strength and hope to their countrymen and the world. Sunday: Upstate Rubdown Upstate Rubdown is an acoustic septet with three-part female harmony like the Andrews Sisters, but funky! drawing inspiration from every corner (and decade) of America’s musical heritage, the unique blend of cajón, saxaphone, mandolin, upright bass, and flute with three part harmony is one not to be missed! These guys will have you dancing in no time! .

    WELCOME! Hi Folks. Welcome to DelFest. It seems impossible that this is the 10th annual event. I’m grateful and humbled that you continue to support what we do, and hope you appreciate the effort and time that goes into an event like this. Leading up to this year’s festival, we’ve been focusing heavily on the theme of “Family Reunion” and to us that’s what DelFest is. We see many familiar faces each year, some that have been coming to shows for 20+ years, along with some of our newer family - folks from local government, fans, friends, and supporters (especially the ones we call Del’s Army). We feel very fortunate that choosing the town of Cumberland brought you into our lives. We are glad to know each and everyone of you, and want to say a tremendous thank you for all of your support. While community is a big part of it, the music is where it starts. We are glad to have some of your favorites from the first nine DelFests back this year including Trey Anastasio Band, Railroad Earth, Steep Canyon Rangers, and our ever-present emcee, Joe Craven. We are also excited to bring our good friend Marty Stuart and his wonderful band to DelFest for the first time. We also have a few special surprises in store for you that we hope will make number 10 unforgettable. So, let me close by saying, remember we are all Family. We are joined by the love of music and community. I ask that you please keep that in mind as you go through the weekend and treat everyone like family..

  • 2017 High Sierra Music Festival Program
    WELCOME! Festivarians, music lovers, friends old and new... WELCOME to the 27th version of our annual get-together! This year, we can’t help but look back 50 years to the Summer of Love, the summer of 1967, a year that brought us the Monterey Pop Festival (with such performers as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead) which became an inspiration and template for future music festivals like the one you find yourself at right now. But the hippies of that era would likely refer to what’s going on in the political climate of these United States now as a “bad trip” with the old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” coming back into play. Here we are in 2017 with so many of the rights and freedoms that were fought long and hard for over the past 50 years being challenged, reinterpreted or revoked seemingly at warp speed. It’s high time to embrace the two basic tenets of the counterculture movement. First is PEACE. PEACE for your fellow human, PEACE within and PEACE for our planet. The second tenet brings a song to mind - and while the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band gets all the attention on its 50th anniversary, it’s the final track on their Magical Mystery Tour album (which came out later the same year) that contains the most apropos song for these times. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. LOVE more, fear less. LOVE is always our answer. Come back to LOVE.

    WELCOME! Who is ready for our 12th annual family reunion? When we call DelFest a musical family, we mean it. This year isn’t any different from the first eleven DelFests, we just really wanted to draw attention to the fact that so many of these musicians are family to us. I’ve known Sam Bush for almost 50 years. Railroad Earth has played nine DelFests. The boys have toured a lot with Keller and Yonder Mountain. I’ve watched Sierra grow up. I’ve recorded a Larry Keel song. I’ve known the Gibson boys for 20+ years. And on and on. These folks are our family, and we hope that DelFest feels like we are all sitting on the front porch jamming. It doesn’t stop with the musicians. All of you fans are also our family. The staff of DelFest are family. The people of Cumberland have become family. Every year we get to come together and celebrate with all of you. For us, it really is like going to a family reunion. All that’s missing is the potluck dinner, so you’ll have to settle for some amazing food from our vendors, many who have been with us from year one – making them also family. So welcome to DelFest #12. We plan to have fun and hope you do too. Let’s treat each other like family (well, family that you like) and have a big ole time. We love you, we thank you, and we appreciate you. Del (and the entire McCoury Family) May 2019 3.

  • 2018 Delfest Program
    WELCOME! Hi folks, Thanks for joining us for DelFest 11. We are glad you are here. While we showcase many types of music here at DelFest, most of it has its roots in Bluegrass, and for this year’s festival we’re shining a big spotlight on Bluegrass, especially with the Bluegrass Congress on Saturday night. The gentlemen we have gathered for that set have made as big a mark on the music as anyone. They’ve taken the music that Bill Monroe created to new levels on their respective instruments. I’m very excited to get to share the stage with all of these friends – Dawg, Ricky, Jerry, Sam, Bryan and Stuart – for a night that I know I won’t soon forget. This focus on picking and bluegrass continues with sets from many of the top bluegrass touring bands on the road like Greensky Bluegrass and Old Crow Medicine Show, as well as the next generation of great pickers that are taking up the mantle, like Billy Strings and Sierra Hull, as well as a host of young bands that are creating some excitement. As usual, there will be a little something for everyone at this year’s DelFest, but I hope you look back on it when it’s all said and done, and say, “We might have just witnessed the world’s best and biggest picking party.” Most of you know what DelFest is about, but I’ll dare repeat it here for any newbies. We are all family, we love one another, we love music, and we are here to have a good time with each other.
