WILCO, the Band, and the SOLID SOUND Festival is Coming to Mass MoCA by Philip S. Kampe

Hello-
All of my wine friends.
I wanted to share this with all of you.
I am a big supporter of music and festivals that are unique.
This is one and only happens every two years in North Adams, Massachusetts.
Join me and the 5,000 participants (a very small number) this June 23rd-25th.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        

Mass MoCA, the grounds where the Solid Sound Festival takes place, is only SIXTY-THREE (63) days away until the opening of  the 2017 WILCO Music & Arts Festival, (Friday, June 23^rd to Sunday, June 25^th)

As a true Solid Sound Festival fan, and an attendee from day one in 2011, I go through withdrawal during the two year hiatus. The festival only takes place on the odd years and 2019 is too far away to think about.  

If you haven’t purchased your ticket, yet, there is still time, even though the clock is still clicking. The new generation, fortunately, waits to the last minute to make decisions-even big ones, like the Solid Sound Festival.

Although this festival is close to being SOLD OUT, there is still time to purchase tickets-a three day pass is still available or single day tickets, as well.

Go to: www.solidsoundfestival.com to secure tickets.

The Solid Sound Festival is not only music. Add comedy, art and overnight camping to the itinerary.

The key to the festival is to bring an umbrella, folding chairs, blankets, sealed or empty water bottles, a stroller if that is you and sun protection.

Coolers, large bags, large umbrellas and large backpacks will not be admitted.

Rain or shine, the festival goes on. Ask anyone about the monsoon on Friday night in 2013, when WILCO was on stage.
 It wasn’t pretty.

The lineup for all three days has just been released.
This is what we have to look forward to:
