So, would you like to hear excellent music played by non-stuck-up musicians you can actually hang out with and jam with all night by a campfire, socialise with nu-folkies and old hippies, wander around in a Brigadoon-like charm with excellent sound from Main Stage to Teen Scene to Songwriters' Workshop (where i actually ran sound one year), and camp out for three nights with a thousand good natured music fans in tents, schoolbusses and microbusses?
Then come to the 29th Annual Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival here in Marquette Michigan on the 3rd weekend in July (July 20-22). It is not lack-luster (though you could say it's mellow). It's like Brigadoon, except that instead of appearing for only a day once every century it's three days and it happens every year. {Then on Monday it fades back into the mist...}
