From the newsletter: “And now … as the ‘Ashes and Dust’ of 2015 settle around us, make welcome to the FloydFest Dreaming Creek Main Stage for the first time ever, Warren Haynes! His Ashes and Dust tour brings a collection of superbly written songs to life with passion, drive and the meticulous craftsmanship that have made him legend.
Plus Selasee & The Fafa Family brought the Fire to the Mountain in 2015, and we welcome them back to weave the dream in 2016!”
Earlier this month, organizers announced: “We welcome to FloydFest for the first time, an icon of Rock and Roll, The Gregg Allman Band. Also announcing Bloodkin, The Steepwater Band, Dead 27s and the 2015 FloydFest On-the-Rise competition winners Look Homeward and Runners-up The Midatlantic.”
