Nearly 100 acts -- that's right, nearly 100 -- pack the lineup to the absolute brim for this weekend's Backwoods Music Festival at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark. The event started last night for early arrivals with an opening meditation followed by a late show with Yonder Mountain String Band. It continues the rest of the weekend.
The festival, -- which uses the motto "Good People. Good Music. Good Times." -- returns for 2019 bigger and better than ever with four stages; music late into the night (we're talking sunrise sets); a flash mob happening on Sunday (learn the choreography at the festival's website or by attending hoop workshops); four days/three nights of primitive or RV camping; workshops on meditation, astrology, yoga, hula hoop, plant medicine, drums and more; and a lineup of some of the best bluegrass, funk, soul, psychedelic, experimental and Americana acts there are.
