Olde 303 Music Festival

06/02/2019

So glad you guys came down had a blast scrambling around to get you guys playing after the rain lots of plugs for an “unplugged” set, the pleasure was mine having you at my festival Brent A Garrett

We enjoyed playing some tunes and throwing some hatchets at Olde 303 Music Festival in Bluffton Indiana yesterday. We are sorry we could not perform our full rock set in the storm but are glad we could still share some music with you a little more stripped down. Hopefully we get a chance to come back and do what we had planned. Thank you to the festival and White Elephant Records for having us, Slumlord Radio and the rest of the bands for your killer sets, and all of you who came out and stuck around in the lightning and rain.

A Small-ish Note of Gratitude.....

We have less than 24 hours until showtime and I just want to take some time to share how blown away I am by the overwhelming support that has come from those within our community and even those outside of it.

Olde 303 Music Festival was only a vision 3 months ago. Brent at Olde 303 Music and myself brought our idea to Bluffton NOW and received unbelievable and somewhat unexpected support. Bluffton NOW worked to get the space reserved and road barricades from the Street Department. The Electric Department offered to set up power for the event. Pam Vanderkolk at the Bluffton Parks Department gave us her extertise on event planning. The Fire Department is providing water for the stage anchor basins. The downtown businesses jumped on sponsorships and donations and RAM Production Backline agreed to bring the band gear free of charge. Bring Stylus Technologies into the mix and we have ourselves a full blown, LOCALLY produced festival.

The rest has honestly been a giant blur of details, deadlines, red tape, excitement, frustration, phone calls, emails and answered prayers and here we are 3 months later....SHOWTIME.

Having been born and raised in this city, it is absolutely incredible to see people of all walks of life coming together to make this happen.

So, THANK YOU to the City of Bluffton, Indiana and those involved with Bluffton NOW.

In all of the changes that this town is going through, our city officials hear all of the good and bad comments that come from the public and move gracefully to embrace the next generation while also respecting and enriching the history we already have.

I don't know about you all, but I think it is a pretty awesome time to live in Bluffton, Indiana and watch the progression of this place we call home.

See you tomorrow, friends! Its going to be an awesome day!

IMPORTANT INFO!!!!

We are less than 48 hours away from show time! Here are a few things to know before you arrive.

We have our map ready...check it out here: https://www.olde303musicfestival.com/map

Restrooms: Portable Restrooms will be available by Kid Row and the Food Area (See Map)

Parking: Parking will be available in multiple city lots surrounding downtown. (See Map)

Seating: There will be limited seating in the food area to enjoy your meal. Be sure you bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for the concert! Chairs can be set on Marion Street facing the stage.

Information Booth: Stop by the Information Booth to buy raffle tickets, purchase t-shirts, and to chat with Bluffton NOW about the progress of Bluffton's Downtown revitalization.

Weather: Let's face it, this is Indiana so we never really know what to expect. There is currently a 50% chance of rain with scattered thunderstorms. We are prepared to cover the stage and delay if necessary. BUT, we are hoping and praying for the best weather possible. Maybe, bring an umbrella though :)

Finally, while this is a family friendly event, once Kid Row closes at 5pm and the Beer Tent opens at 6pm, the festival will shift to a more adult focused atmosphere. Kids are still welcome at parent's discretion, but the environment and music may not be 100% suitable for children!

We are SUPER excited for a kick-ass event! See you all soon!!
