Many return annually for amazing performances by both legendary and up-and-coming bluegrass, folk and Americana artists such as Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, Béla Fleck, Jerry Douglas, the War and Treaty, Alison Krauss, Los Lobos, the Jayhawks, Milk Carton Kids and the McCrary Sisters, and local favorites including Sarah Jarosz, Shakey Graves, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Shinyribs. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Old Settler’s Music Festival is directed and staffed largely by devoted volunteers. The mission of Old Settler’s Music Festival Inc. is to bring a legacy of American roots music to a new age of listeners while preserving the music and a strong culture of family, friends, and community.
