The first round of the 2016 Lockn' Festival lineup has just been announced, and people are in a rage.  The Lockn' Festival, which will be taking place August 25-28 near Arrington, Virginia , has become the smash hit to close out the summer festival season in recent years.   Having been known for having no overlapping sets, good vibes, and creative collaborations between musicians that can be seen nowhere else, it is easy to see why it has become a fan favorite.

Punch Brothers at MusicNow Fest

Bryce Dessner of The National heads up a festival called MusicNow every year in Cincinnati. There were several guests this year including Chris Thile's Punch Brothers. Chris is best known as the head of the band Nickel Creek. Punch Brothers played in a great hall in downtown Cincinnati for this event. They play several great spaces this Spring and Summer including Telluride Bluegrass Festival. There are also photos here of the rest of MusicNow and include groups such at Kronos Quartet and Anna Clyne.
