  • June 13 - June 16, 2013, Manchester, Tenn. - With nearly 200 artists and more than 80,000 attendees, Bonnaroo is one of the largest four-day festivals in the country. This twelfth annual party on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, blends genres of people and music for four days of camping and good times. Some of the highlights this year were: Paul McCartney, Bjork, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jack Johnson, Wu-Tang Clan, A$AP Rocky, Jim James, NAS, The Sheepdogs, Pretty Lights, ZZ Top, and Billy Idol. After four days of heat, crowds, and a lot of walking, I can't wait until next year!

  • June 14-15, 2013 — Last weekend, Atlantans enjoyed the annual Midsummer Music and Food Festival, a free event in Candler Park. Friday evening brought a nice, mellow warm-up to Saturday's maximum-capacity crowd. Friday featured Neil Cribbs, Reynolds & Williams Band, and Coy Bowles of Zac Brown Band. Saturday's lineup included acoustic Webster Humpage, electro dance favorite Stokeswood, the down-home Southern style of Connor Christian & Southern Gothic, the alt bluegrass of the Whiskey Gentry, the horn-filled funk and soul of the Soul Rebels, and finished off the evening with the crowd-roaring favorite Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. <br><br> The food was as plentiful and eclectic as the music. Packing in 25 of Atlanta's best food trucks, attendees sampled everything from gourmet mac & cheese and fries, Cajun, Vietnamese, Southern, Latin American cuisine, and vegetarian goodies. And they didn't forget desert favorites such as classic custard, cupcakes, kettle corn, and all-natural popsicles. <br><br> By the end of Saturday night, everyone's stomachs, souls, minds, and ears were well-nourished from a festival that won't soon be forgotten.
