And while I could go on and on with the pot references, I promise to just leave it at that one. Because all you need to do is head to the fest's site, watch just a minute or so of the streaming still photos, and you'll get the point. In fact, you'll be beaten over the head with it.
While we here at Prefix have never exactly been aboard the jam band train, there are some quality acts strewn amongst the Phish-o-philes scheduled to play at the High Sierra Music Festival. It goes down July 5-8 outside of Berkeley, CA. Acts of interest for people whose lives don't revolve around their next bong hit include Drive-By Truckers, Les Claypool, Vetiver, Mavis Staples, Galactic, Brett Dennen, Martin Sexton, the Devil Makes Three, and Xavier Rudd. Acts for the jam contingent include Page McConnell, Leftover Salmon, the Disco Biscuits, and Yonder Mountain String Band.
