A myriad of musical talents rocked the concert grounds all weekend. Grassroots appears to have something year after year that most other summer music festivals don't offer. If you're sick of seeing a whole weekend of Grateful Dead- and Allman Brothers-style bands like myself‚ then Grassroots is the place for you. It's a seriously refreshing feeling to look at your schedule and see tons of bands you don't recognize‚ then go to see them and be completely blown away. These four days of stellar music could prove to be one of the best experiences of the year.
