Rockin’ to Lockn’ 2016

Arrington, Virginia’s Lockn’ Music Festival could be called the Virginia edition of Coachella. While it’s on a smaller scale than the star-studded Colorado music festival, Lockn’ is still a much-anticipated, much-celebrated event that draws in music lovers from all over the nation.

Let’s check out a few amazing acts in the line-up for Lockn’s 2016, August 25-28, 2016:

Phish- This 32-year old band got its start playing at clubs along the East Coast and eventually grew to perform at locations worldwide. Enjoy the unique blends that include everything from folk to psychedelic rock.

Brandi Carlile- Brandi Carlile is an alternative country and folk rock singer who hails from the state of Washington. Along with her music, Brandi is also known for founding the Looking Out Foundation, which has given grants to causes like the American Diabetes Association and Honor the Earth.

Doobie Decibel System: This cleverly named duo is a folk-rock band that plays both original pieces and covers from classics like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Grateful Dead. They’re also known for streaming HD videos of their concerts for free online.

My Morning Jacket- This band plays a blend of rock, country, experimental, and psychedelic music. Although a number of the band members are new additions since the band’s creation in 1998, you’ll get to hear two of the original members, Jim James (vocalist and lead guitarist) and Tom Blankenship (bass).

Garcia’s Forest- There is little information about this band, whose name appears to refer to Jerry Garcia, lead singer of The Grateful Dead, but that lack of information just adds to the excitement of the mystery. All we know is they promise “endless good vibes and a kaleidoscope of energy.”
