A remarkable celebration of music and community, the Woollystar Music Festival is set to captivate audiences once again from June 12 to 15 at the picturesque Woollystar Ranch in Markleeville. At the heart of this vibrant event lies the performance by the illustrious Los Texmaniacs, renowned Grammy Award-winning artists who seamlessly fuse conjunto, Texas rock, blues, and R&B into an unforgettable auditory experience. Complementing their act are enchanting performers such as Maya de Vitry, whose emotive melodies intertwine country, indie rock, and folk traditions, and Willy Tea Taylor, a cherished Californian artist celebrated for his evocative narratives and heartfelt compositions.

Adding depth to the festival’s offerings, ISMAY will present a unique songwriter-in-the-round showcase paying homage to Lucinda Williams' legacy, joined by Francesca Brown, whose vocal prowess mirrors the timeless essence of Emmylou Harris and Loretta Lynn. The lineup further expands with diverse talents like Fellow Pynins, Meli Levi, Sheena Dham, and Western Medicine, each bringing their distinctive flair to enrich the musical tapestry. These performances promise not only to entertain but also to inspire listeners through a blend of genres and storytelling.

The Woollystar Music Festival extends beyond its musical core, offering participants a holistic retreat filled with rejuvenating yoga sessions, invigorating nature treks, collaborative open mics, cinematic screenings, and educational workshops catering to musicians of all backgrounds and abilities. This gathering serves as a testament to the power of art and connection, fostering creativity and camaraderie among attendees. Through shared experiences, individuals can forge lasting memories while celebrating the universal language of music in an environment that champions growth and unity. Embracing opportunities for personal development and collective joy, Woollystar exemplifies how festivals can uplift communities and strengthen bonds.
