About
Connor’s Visit (August 2026): He went to the 7th annual festival at McAwesome Ranch on August 29, 2026: “Music was amazing, ranch was (mc)awesome, and the sense of community was great. I was able to see at least 6 of the bands perform. Some highlights were Salomé Songbird, the organizer’s band Before the Sun, and Tome (ten women harmonizing with one guitar). If you’re a music lover in general, I’d be sure to follow them so you don’t miss them next year.” (Castle Rock Crew, September 1, 2026) The format, as he previewed it: started in 2020 as a secret festival, every band capped at three songs, around 10 acts from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, with camping on site.
