The Council of Americana Roots Music announced that they will be hosting a festival for the preservation of Americana music Sept. 25–28 in Crawford, Tenn.
Attendees can stay for a day, or camp out the whole weekend.
Headlining performers, who are also being recorded as part of the national Jammin at Hippie Jack’s PBS series, include Darrell Scott, The Bus Driver Tour, The Sweetback Sisters, New Country Rehab and The Barstool Romeos. The River Stage will host performances beginning at noon, continuing late into the night. The Roots Stage will provide yoga meditation, poetry readings and a children’s story hour.
Sweetback Sisters
Bring your RV, camper, tent, chairs, sunscreen, bug spray, flashlights (the farm is dark at night), a hat, sunglasses, warm weather clothes, cool weather clothes, your instruments, and anything else you think you’ll need to enjoy a weekend in the country (but no pets).
The festival, held in the “home of Americana music,” Overton County, is also a place where the community comes together to make a difference in the world. The Jammin at Hippie Jack’s Music Festival is where partnering nonprofits Souls4Soles and the Overton County Food Pantry collect non-perishable food items, shoes and clothing, and raise awareness about hunger and poverty issues in the U.S. and abroad. What began with donations of non-perishable items from campers leaving the festival has grown into an essential partnership resulting in the distribution of thousands of pounds of donated food and clothing every year.
The Jammin at Hippie Jack’s festival atmosphere is calm, serene and friendly. During the day families listen to music, play in the river, get their faces painted, visit the arts and crafts area, and eat delicious barbecue accompanied by an evening espresso. After the music ends, a bonfire is lit where like-minded pickers perform, listen, and learn.
