Double Bass Strawberry Music Festival

[Fat Steve]

I'll be there both spring and fall this year. Any other TBer's gonna be there? I have Strawberry to thank for changing my life as a musician, and it would be great to see some of you there.

I'm thinking about it. I'm the only one out of all my jam friends that hasn't been.
I hear the Spring can be too cold.
Looks like the big acts come in the Fall.

I've been to both, and yes spring is cold. There's a certain awesome factor that comes with the spring festival though. Last year, it was 75 degrees when we showed up on Thursday, and woke up Friday morning to snow. Watching Joan Osborne in the snow on Friday night was nothing short of magical. If cold weather camping isn't your thing, then yeah Fall would be the better choice.

Going to the spring fest this year. Last fall was my first and it was a blast!! I heard the spring weather can be quite inclement.

Lived in the Tahoe area for almost 10 years and never made it to either show, to my regret.
I'm closer to that scene musically than I was then but geographically much more distant...
I'd love for it to happen some day, but meanwhile I'm trying to be more adventurous about attending events that are local to me now.

Have fun out there - I do miss the Sierra...

I've been three Falls in a row and LOVE it. Not sure about this year...kids in school now and it's a long drive. But I highly recommend it.

Hey fat Steve... ill be up in the fall! Had to miss this spring due to a faulty fuelpump....lol I was pissed...
last springs snow one day to rain then sun and bikini tops was awesome.... I got to thump with some real good pickers last fall...

So I'm really looking forward to this fall.... even though I have fellow picker friends I camp with.. I always cant wait to do the Strawberry Stroll and hope to find some new pickers...(bluegrass ers) friends are on the folkyamericana side....I prefere bluegrass. ?.

Fall's coming up in less than two weeks! Who's gonna be there? I'll be there on Yosemite Trails road just west of Hidden Meadow Loop. Look for "Camp Stop Wont Stop" and stop by for a jam!

 

[othefool]

I will be camped out in the meadow @ Camp Touch This...

Looking forward to the late night bluegrass jams...

Danger!!

There's a fire burning approx 10 miles west of Strawberry right now and the wind is blowing in the direction of camp.
