Musik-related awesomeness
There are 324 performing artists at the 'fest this year.
That's a lot, and we're super-excited to be able to present such a diverse lineup. That being said, we know that it can be a bit overwhelming to know where to start.
So, we've been highlighting artsits on ArtsQuest: The Blog... below you'll find links to the reviews we've written so far. We're not going to be able to feature everyone (there aren't enough hours in the day), but these posts will give you a good place start!

| The Arrogant Worms | Barenaked Ladies meets Al Yankovic, but better. |
| Kagero | Gogol Bordello meets Gipsy Kings meets Igor & the Red Elvises meets awesome. |

| Rubblebucket | With a big ol’ rotating band of horn and percussion players, Rubblebucket brings dance music back to its analog, head-boppin’ soul roots. They manage to make a retro style sound futuristic—like if Devo and Donna Summer had a space-age love child. |
| The Hide and Seek Effect | Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate... they're quite possibly the best piano rock band from Morgantown, WV |
| The Great White Caps | Dick Dale, Gary Hoey and all things surf-rock-awesomeness. |
