Upcoming Events: Ashland Mind Music Festival

Ashland locals Kaargo Bossajova have worked tirelessly since their formation to promote local music and community spirit with the use of festivals, and on October 8th they will host another grassroots rager down there in southern Oregon. The Ashland Mind Music Festival boasts camping, open jams, and a place to kick back and listen to some awesome local names.

The lineup includes some of the names found at this year’s Apple Jam—an event hosted annually by Kaargo—and a whole lot of new ones too, including Eugene favorites Forever Growing. Beyond the music though, the festival is about much more; friendship, community and a fun atmosphere.



Though complaints about the price have occurred (albeit rarely), tickets include a full weekend of camping, and all night access to amenities—including beer—so although the prices may seem steep at first, it all evens out to a fair price in the end. Complaints about price tend to originate from the fact that many of the bands are unknown, but as the organizers put it: “All of the best were unknown until the community came out to listen.”

The Ashland Mind Music Festival is on October 8th, AMMF property, Ashland, OR. More info @ http://events.myspace.com/Event/7060427/The-Ashland-Mind-Music-Festival
