This festival is to honor the infectious person and cultivator of the arts that Jake was, and to celebrate the spirit that still shines on.
This year’s lineup features Blanket Approval, Paper Lady, Whenzdaze, and Mollie Jean (student band) on Night One, and Dred Buffalo, Chase Murphy, Nate Perry & Ragged Company, and Breaklight (student band) on Night Two. Music begins at 7pm on both days.
