Ragweed wants you to come and join the Round-Up!
Texas has many great festivals and events that have become yearly traditions for thousands of music lovers that want to burn under the sun while they arrive early and boogie into the night while catching their favorite dozen or so bands in one area.
With the 4th edition of Cross Canadian Ragweed’s Red Dirt Round-Up coming up this Sunday, it’s easy to see that this festival has become an almost mandatory mark on the yearly calendar of the Texas Music lover. What this event does better than other “Red Dirt oriented” shows is that it showcases artists that aren’t necessarily members of the “scene”, but that fans of the “scene” will likely really be into or will get into once they are introduced to them. Past years have seen Black Crowes, Gary Allan, Drive By Truckers, Son Volt, Black Stone Cherry, Reverend Horton Heat and even the Supersuckers play to crowds that might have originally been there to catch Randy Rogers, even though many of those bands are more well-known on a national level than many of the stars of the Lone Star State. This year, along with Ragweed, Rogers, Charlie Robison, Robert Earl Keen, Band of Heathens, Brandon Jenkins, and The Gourds, we have non-Texans Lucero, Jason Isbell and yes, The Wallflowers rocking the stages as well. It’s gonna be a fun day and I’ll be there for sure.
I plan on tweeting from the concert as the day progresses and until my phone battery runs out, so if you havent made the decision to follow me on Twitter, you better get on it! Also, you can go hear to get your tickets in advance (you will save yourself $10 by hooking yourself up early).
