The hometown Achilles Wheel, fresh off impressive performances at this summer’s High Sierra Music Festival, will be there, along with Reno’s Moondog Matinee, South Lake Tahoe’s The Connor Party, and Sacramento’s Ideateam.
Brothers Gow of San Diego and Ancestree of Santa Cruz and Seattle’s Polyrhythmics also were added, along with The Contribution, a supergroup comprised of Tim Carbone, Phil Ferino, Jeff Miller, Keith Moseley, Sheryl Renee, Matt Butler and Duane Trucks.
The 7th annual Hangtown Music Festival runs October 26-29, featuring three nights of host band Railroad Earth and bringing together new friends and old friends to picturesque Placerville in the Sierra foothills of Northern California.
The four-day gathering will present a wide variety of musical experiences and artist collaborations. There will be late night shows, costume themes and contests, parades, food, wine, yoga, an arts and craft faire, and a welcoming family atmosphere that includes a kidzone with activities such as pumpkin carving, mask-making, dance parties and much more.
