Hello folks, Here is a reminder to get your tickets in advance for the first ever Tweed River Music Festival. They can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/68174. For all other information that you need go to www.bowthayer.com.

What this is all about is the epitome of what a grass roots Vermont music festival should be. The boys who make up Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck along with local volunteers have banded together to create what is sure to be a great weekend of original music, good vibes, and one heck of a party! But it is mainly up to the people who show up. Over the years we have met so many interesting people and we feel this is an excellent way to get as many as we can together.

The great thing about this particular event is that it is being put on by musicians donating there time, there is no big promoter trying to make a buck, and the cost of admissions is to cover the necessities (a list that seems to keep growing). The spirit of this event will dictate if it is successful or not.

The best festivals are the ones that are not overhyped or overcrowded. We have a limit to how many folks can come (another reason to get tix in advance); the biggest, most popular festivals were at their best in infancy. This is exactly where we are at with the Tweed: how many places can you show up, pick a camp spot, bring you own cooler, listen to great music, and have access to one of the sweetest swimming holes in the area?! Although we have many volunteers, including EMT certified and first response attendants, you will not be corralled around to specific sites to camp, party, listen to music, etc...

Recent additions:
We are proud to announce that we have added Kris Delmhorst an Jeff Foucault to the Saturday line-up.
there will be a fireworks display
there will be Vendors on the grounds.

Please remember to bring the kids, they get in for free! But please leave your dogs at home. Be ready to be as self-sufficient as possible: water, tent, rain gear, bug spray, sun screen, flashlight, sleeping bags, ice.
There will be no alcohol sold on the premises so bring you own, and please try to shy away from bottles, also we would like to ask that people bring their own trash bags.

There are small markets in the area to get this kind of thing if you forget something.

If you are receiving this it means you are on The Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck email list and that you are very important to us. We hope you can make it and ensure that we can do many more of these.
