A Brand New Stage & Museum for 2014
To celebrate Warren Hellman’s spirit at the festival, they are hosting a pop-up museum of our own in the park.  In conjunction with this, they’re debuting the Bandwagon Stage on Sat. & Sun. Many of the performers gracing it share a personal tie to Warren – his grandchildren are in The Brothers Gibb, JB Nimble, and Horseshoe Hill – not to mention you’ll be seeing some of his bandmates from The Wronglers – Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Heidi Clare, and Colleen Browne (she plays with Horseshoe Hill.)
