Turning into what looked like someone’s driveway (is this the right place?), we were relieved to hear that we had reached our destination (albeit, more rugged than we expected). In our little car, we downshifted and trekked up a dirt hill and parked in the overgrown grass. “Where is the stage?” we wondered. Alas, over a hill, we found it: elseFest.elseFest was slim pickings early Friday afternoon. The sun was shining and the temperatures were too high, so umbrellas, tents and sunscreen were in abundance.

“Ever dance to a fiddle?” That’s elseFest’s pick up line.

Well, have you?

Maybe you should give it a shot.

elseFest’s inaugural event will be held June 22^nd and 23^rd. elseFest is the greatest melting pot of Bluegrass, Jamgrass, and acoustic bliss that houses a plethora of instruments and sounds to make even the shyest of fans put on their dancing shoes.

The Infamous Stringdusters’ Silver Sky tour swings through rural Pennsylvania June 22 and 23 at elseFest in Wagontown, Chester County, outside Philadelphia. elseFest is a two-day bluegrass, jamgrass and acoustic music festival.
